Posture, Injury, and pre-existing medical conditions are the main contributors to limited range of motion in shoulders.

Proprioneurofacilitation Stretching (PNF) yields the best results every time, in regards to improving range of motion in the shoulder.

Depending upon the cause behind the loss of range of motion there are a number of different paths to regaining the range of motion in the shoulder. 

Full range of motion’ in medical terms is 180 degrees of shoulder flexion, and abduction, 45-60 degrees for shoulder extension, 30-50 degrees for adduction (across your body), 70-90 degrees for medial/internal rotation, and 90 degrees for lateral/external rotation.
