Edgelow protocal is not traditional PT. The patient is in control; it is not hands on. It is not the kind of PT that TOS knowledgable drs would have you avoid unless you have complications unusual for TOS. In the PT pgm you learn to see if you can reverse some symptoms he has you address like temp and strength. And of course as a good patient you must know not to go into the pain. You can read in Sharon B's materials and in Edgelow's how to recognize the point at which to back off. At a minimum you would most likely be able to do the thinker pose and some of the breathing pgm. Neither of these pgms have you do weights or anything that many of us TOSers either can't do or find causes flare.

the above refers to patients who haven't had surgery. i have made efforts to do both prgms but prior to surgery. i think if you are recovering fr surgery you really need to follow a protocol developed for that.
