It's really more than for just low back pain. It teaches you how to move as we are supposed to move from toes to head. To me, TOS is primarily a dysfunction in movement due to muscle imbalance. We were not intended to sit all the time with our shoulders drooped forward. All of the movements attempt to reverse this.

There's also a lot of specific movements that many have mentioned on these forums that are integrated into these movements. For example:

* Shoulders back -- essential part of the "founder" stance.
* Stretch chest -- ditto.
* Chin tucks -- pretty much part of every movement

I go to the gym 4 days per week. When I go, I "sprinkle" in foundation training movements. Probably a total of 10 minutes per workout. Then usually on Saturdays, I do a full 50 minute workout. Dr. Eric Goodman says as little as 10 minutes a day will be beneficial.

Thank you so much for the information. I found some of the videos on you tube and I'm going to give it a try. I also believe that tos is about dysfunctional movement. I'm curious about your history as far as surge rye. Have you had any and what type and were they successful? Thanks
