I play softball and have moderate shoulder pain often. how can i reduce pain between practices besides taking anti inflammatories or pain pills?

Recommend: Good rest, balanced diet, moist heat, professionally designed stretching exercises. You must warm the muscles first and then stretch. Take some extra time to stretch your entire body. Make sure you warm up thoroughly before serious exercising, regardless of the type of sport you choose.
