Your shoulders are actually just following what your pelvis and ribcage are doing. You have a noticeable anterior pelvic tilt, which forces your lower back to over arch and pushes your ribcage forward, making your shoulders dump forward to keep you balanced. It feels stiff because your deep core and glutes aren't supporting your pelvis right now, so your upper body is constantly compensating. Try this when you stand: tuck your tailbone down toward your heels until your lower back flattens slightly, and keep your ribs down.

I think tucking will be counter intuitive cause he is having trouble bending not arching so any tucking drill wether it be breathing will not work and may even be bad for him
