I have heard that free hanging from a pull up bar is a good way to fix shoulder impingements. Hang for 20-30 seconds at a time if possible. Do that 3-4 times a day. I think its supposed to help stretch certain ligaments and muscles to get the full, natural range of motion back.

I had a shoulder impingement that was actually "sawing" on one of the tendons in my left shoulder and finally broke down and got it fixed last November. It ended up being done via arthroscope and it was a couple of weeks before i had full range of motion back. I didn't get full strength back for 3-4 months and still do therapy stuff on it at home to keep the muscles around the joint strong.
It wasn't a terrible surgery and narrowly missed having an open rotator cuff surgery which would have set me back over a year. I'm glad I went in when I did. Had surgery on a Friday and went back to work Monday so you wouldn't miss much work, but it's all based on pain tolerance.

Get a good one. Nothing worse than a sweating obese one wanting to give you another “adjustment.”
This was hilarious when I saw it on Wednesday. And then I went to the doctor today about a recent back issue, the first back issue I've ever had. He said to keep doing the stretching exercises they taught me in physical therapy. I asked for how long, and he said, forever. Seriously!
