We have had good results from a cool compress for 10 minutes (cool water soaked thin towel), then massage toward the axilla 10 minutes each side for regular engorgement. For engorgement up to the collarbone, which I haven't seen since we started the compress/massage care, we pump afterward if needed. After compress/massage to axilla, we have improved results from the pump.
