Side twists with the hands on the shoulders are good. Press the shoulder blades together to make sure the heart opens from the back too. Shoulder shrugs to loosen up the upper spine. Investigate the structural cause and see if it might be related to poor posture. Does your head hang forward while at the computer and lead when you are walking? This position of the head closes down the heart or is partially caused by a closed heart that we want to protect. The flexor/pector muscles in front shorten. Do cobra and bow pose to lenghten these muscles and open the heart. Also make sure you do neck lock while sitting, simply pulling the head back slightly and tucking the chin so the heart opens.
