Use warm compresses or a heating pad on a low setting. Do some gentle range of motion exercises to loosen the muscles. Taking ibuprofen regularly for a couple of days (if you don't have any history of bleeding problems or stomach problems) will also help. If this doesn't loosen your shoulder, see your care provider.
