Does PT, deep tissue massage on the shoulders help you or make it worse?

I may be able to get a few sessions of physio on the NHS, but I'm nervous to let someone touch me again!
yes I have this too.I posted a thread about it not too long ago,but havent yet found the right treatment for it. It seems to be a side condition of TOS. its where mine started and seems to be the source right now. I know there are certain exercises that you can do to strengthen the shoulder muscles around the scalpula. I havent found ones yet that dont flare me up but I will be working on this over the next few months. A good pt that understands this may be helpful but you need to be careful. if they flare you up STOP.
