A mare with a stiff shoulder....

So, long story short, I work with a QH mare that had a brand burnt into her right shoulder in the past. This horse was with some very abusive owners and finally found her way to our stable. We've been working with her getting to trust humans again and it's been a long, but rewarding road. However, she tends to limp on the leg attached to the shoulder (front right). I was told that it's because the brand was done incorrectly and perhaps damaged muscle...but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know anything about that. I do know that she has the ability to loosen up when she is ridden regularly and lunged....but other then that, I'm not sure what to do to help her. I would like to find some other therapy that might help her but I just don't have the knowledge.

Any thoughts?
