The physio was doing the job and I still do the exercises. I know TENS machines are not a proven but, after just 20 minutes of stimulating my neck muscles I have noticed a difference.
Once you start looking at the anatomy of the shoulder you realize what a complicate joint it is. The socket isn't really a true socket but a lump of gristle type material held in place by ligaments, tendons, all attached to the skeleton by muscles all holding it into place. An injury can damage any of these connections. A good physiotherapist should be able pinpoint the main areas which hopefully are muscular. Anything that is tendon or ligament related is a different matter and really needs a scan to see what's going on.
TENS, Lasers, deep heat, tension strips all appear to help some people so its hard to discount any of them.
Exercises seem to be the best for me but even then I don't see them as an absolute cure.
