I'm also a pt of Dr D and he didn't recommend tos pt bf my surgery or after. He just gave me some simple stretches to do 3 x a day.

I had a rib resection in December 2014. I was officially diagnosed with TOS in June but had had symptoms (mainly debilitating pain) for 18 months previously.
I'd seen several PT before the diagnosis and saw Eileen before the surgery but I wasn't able to continue. I started with her again 4 months postop. I pushed for the referral, Dr Donahue said he doesn't typically refer to PT. She's worked a lot with me on posture and building core strength.
