Besides that proper face pulls, ideally a resistive band YTWL[1] (another alternative is to do body weight YTWL by lying down [2]) exercise as well as walking with your thumbs forced straight to the front (if your thumbs point towards your hips when your hands are loose you have improper rotator position in your shoulder) helps wonders with any shoulder issues.

Another very good exercise is to stand straight against a wall keeping your shoulder blades, mid back, butt, elbows and wrists touching the wall and doing a shoulder press motion. The motion should be done without the elbows and the wrists coming off the wall, even people in tip top shape find this exercise extremely difficult to perform and most people would top out at just under a 90 degree bend in their elbow at first.
Unless there is actual damage to the joint (e.g. scar tissue that gets inflamed and must be removed) surgery should be avoided at all costs, nearly all orthopedics conditions can be resolved by strengthening under developed muscles that would make the joints work as they should.
Shoulder issues tend to happen due to weak back/rear delts and overdeveloped front delts and chest muscles this is the bane of the modern slouching life style.
- glangdale 7y ago"helps wonders with any shoulder issues"? (emphasis mine) That's a bold claim. There are a lot of different shoulder issues. I never found that all that YTWL stuff did anything useful for my shoulder at all (torn labrum from Judo), but doing stuff more like the article (closed chain) and doing some of the flexibility stuff from a 'gymnastics for beginners' type program ("Elements" from GMB - in the end I didn't like the program but I still do the warmup/cooldown) also really helped. Also not getting into impromptu bench pressing competitions with rugby players at the gym was a pretty good idea too.
