You first need passive therapy to reduce the inflammation before range of motion stretching. Then after a few weeks of stretching you can start stretching the arm and shoulder muscles. Jay H Schwartz, DC, DIBCN, DIBE
there are many reasons for shoulder impingement. One of them are very tight pectoral muscles as we tend to be a flexed society. Most of us spend some or most of the time leaning slightly forward to teach, type, use computers or text. This will tighten the pecs. strengthen the back and stretch your chest. this should help
Without seeing the exact shoulder issue it is hard to give a specific type of program to do. You can start with scapular shoulder stability exercises.
