Depends on the injury?

I hurt my rotator last year working out. Went to physio, was advised on a lot of stretches, started from scratch going light to build up all the stabilizers. Focus on proper form, and do things to take tension of my shoulder especially during work. It was a revelation that even sitting infront of a computer at work all day, my posture was terrible and shoulders arched forward and 'engaged' all day. Never really getting a chance to relax or recover properly. Even to this day I start with the same stretches for my shoulders/rotator area, and have slowly gotten up to 300~ bench.

Still can't go heavy with overhead exercises like military press, or even incline presses without feeling like something is going to go... But road to recovery is slow.
