Hi..

Shoulder pain of your mom could be Periarthritic shoulder...wherein movements of shoulder like lifting and reaching back is restricted...
Since you don't use much of this shoulder yiubtend to lose muscles in those places and will appear as short and weak...

Don't worry

I recommend you to do ..

Lot of icing over your shoulder and shoulder blades...
Do pendular exercises and Wall creeping exercises for shoulder
gentle kneading over front shoulder joint and over shoulder blades...
Gentle stretching of internal rotators..like shoulder and arm by the side if the body...elbow bend to 90 deg and arm pulled away from the body...
once pain permits start the shoulder strengthening
exercises...

Hope this is helpful for you
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard....
