That would honestly make things worse. You need to address the problem rather than use a crutch. You need to restore functional movement. Look up Eric Cressey who is probably the leading authority on shoulder health/rehab. I had the pleasure of attending one of his 8 hour seminars and it was a great learning experience.

I have a pretty jacked up shoulder myself. Things that have oddly helped with me was incline seated dumbbell military(takes the pressure off the bsck and isolates the delts more),face pulls, rear delt flies, chest supported dumbell rows into a rear shrug, stretching between sets and a hydro massage at my gym.
Lifting heavy has helped me (I do not recommend it, just stating what worked for me).
I do have a definite imbalance that is slowly being fixed.
I stick to dumbbells for shoulders.
Sometimes people get too caught up on rehab, prehab, etc. and forget that often times the problem is a weakness in the muscle.
Not saying this is your case and I'm not a professional. This is just what I took a chance and did for myself.

I agree with this. Rehab and strengthen those areas otherwise you may have problems for a lifetime. I know you mentioned physical therapy in the past but if it works....stick with it.

I have a prior foot injury which required in insertion of a titanium screw...pt and rehab followed. On occasion I sometimes aggravate the injury and its back to rehabbing and all is well. Same goes with my rotator.

Dang 8 hours. I'd be falling asleep!

no, it was very involved. The class was loaded, around 40 people and you get and stay active partnering up and practicing techniques. I coached part-time at a pretty well known D1 school and they paid for my travel and for the seminar. I’d go again if he came out to this side again as he’s based on the opposite coast.

for the most part my trap isnt fatigued or inflammed anymore, i dont do any trap work at all but they still have some size so i dont care, i just watch my chest/shoulder movements and try and warm up and ive been good lately thankfully.

thanks for checkin up
