I'm sure your physical therapist has recommended so, but after a jump definitely put a cold compress on your shoulder. You want to reduce any inflammation that may have been gained and it will also help ease the pain. I know of a shoulder wrap called BFST (blood flow stimulation therapy). It promotes blood flow to the injured area, bringing nutrients and added elasticity/lubrication with it. Post op it will speed up the recovery process and will just make the area less stiff and sore. Circulation is always beneficial. It's actually good to use something like this before the jump.....get lots of blood flow. This will prevent further damage. Hope this info helps. I use the back one myself and it works wonders for me.
