The more professionals who contact me and explain the anatomy and what the heck is going on with our systems falling apart, shutting down, flaring the more it's evident that light exercise and stretching is critical to TOS health. Makes so much sense. Now most MD's do not have the education in physio as a therapist does. It is their speciality, their education, their practice to release the pain, get us moving, the circulation flowing, the oxygen dispersing to all organs and systems from scar tissue build up and years of constriction, surgery(s) and injuries.
Perfect scenario for TOS, RSI CRPS pain patients needs are:
- the correct PT - fascia and connective tissue massage or myofascial release
- Stretching, light yoga
- Feldenkrais
- swimming
- stationary bike
- walking short distances
- floor stretches/exercises from the head, spine to the tips of our toes such as Peter Edgelow Protocol, Alexander technique, Sharon Butler all integrating
Amazing and simple as it sounds it is. More of us would be healthy(er) if we research the importance of the fascia and focus on it's release and healthiness
