Too Many Pushing Exercises

I used to have a coach who helped me train for my first powerlifting and bodybuilding competition. My training was heavily powerlifting oriented though, so the Big Three were my main focus.
Looking back at my training I realized that I was doing about 4-5 pushing exercises per 2 pulling exercises... all of this resulting in an injury to my subscapularis that has lasted 3 years.
It’s definitely better than it was before and I can do quite a few movements without any pain. I tend to just go each day with a tight, pinched feeling in my rotator cuff/armpit area.

I’ve seen a chiropractor and physical therapist and they both suggested foam rolling around the area but not much else.

I’m currently foam rolling a couple days a week and doing 2-3 pulling exercises per 1 push exercise about 3 days a week.

In time, will these even out and help heal my subscapularis?? Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.
