Default Physical therapy bad for arterial TOS

I want to share my experience with physical therapy and arterial TOS.

I did PT for 6 months after my diagnosis of NTOS. I never had an angiogram or Doppler test and was unaware I had severe compression of arteries and veins. Just because I had pain my dr automatically assumed it was NTOS.

PT is a very bad idea is you have serious circulation issues. So make sure you know exactly what kind of TOS you have before you jump into PT as it can make you worse. That's probably why a lot of PT "doesn't work". Because it's unnecessary.
