Botox worked the first time for the right side, but did not work this last time for the left side. For the left side episode, which started in late December of 2013, I'm 100% sure that my own deep tissue massage and this foundation training has gotten me out of trouble.

The key question I keep asking myself when I run into TOS issues: Why wasn't this a problem when I was 20 years old?

The answer: We no longer move the same way as adults.
