No experience with that particular injury, but since I've been dealing for months with an injury that affects all the shoulder joints as well as the sternocostal joints ... my best advice is to find the best massage therapist you can find. Don't settle for someone who doesn't have a very good grounding in how the joint works. If you leave a session feeling like your muscles have been worked unevenly, so that some muscles have been released but the antagonist muscles are now pulling the joint farther out - find someone else. How to find someone I truly have no idea, I've been to a LOT of LMTs, some better than others, but only one who is truly competent, and when he got injured I was completely on my own.

Don't let a PT give you strengthening exercises until your bones are in good alignment and any trigger points or muscle spasms are relieved. Way too high a chance of making things worse. Shoulders are EXTREMELY tricky, and as you know (now if not before), the SC joint is the only true bone-to-bone "joint" in the entire shoulder girdle, so the stability of the whole mess really depends on that one. Very best wishes for a complete and quick recovery.
