Shoulder stretches have to be done in a very comfortable position; do not stretch more then you can else further strain can lead to a secondary problem.

Another important pose aka cat pose is highly recommended in lowering high blood pressure.  The cat Yoga pose helps the individual to concentrate on the movement from the centre of the body and also to coordinate the movements along with the breath.
