Thanks for the info.
I did the roo's test with my PT and couldn't last more than a minute.... and when I'm trying to do the doorway stretches to open up my pecs.... I started feeling the heaviness and fatigue in less than 20 seconds...... my PT told me not to over exert myself, were u guys in the same boat? Its kind of frustrating when I can't even do the stretches properly to help my symptoms, did you have the same issues because I tried your stretches and they are much more doable and less strenuous.

Sharon Butler's website explains why gentle stretching is better than hard core forcing stretches.. I found the info very helpful.
Trigger point work- we have a sticky thread about it..
Top rib mobilization - was a big plus for me --a forum search or web search will find info on it
My version of TOS was due to work postures 15 yrs, past whiplash, past shoulder injuries, plus hyper mobility.. mainly soft tissue based.
