As with any other treatment program, proceed cautiously with pectoralis stretching. I had an RSI specialist recommend that I stretch my (visibly shortened) pecs, and I went at it with a little too much excitement. By stretching too much too fast, I think I just caused further compression of the nerve, and therefore worse pain. I only later found out that conventional pec stretching can sometimes worsen TOS. So, to repeat, take it slow!
