I'll do some looking in the cache for some of those.
i found this so far-
{from one of my old posts}

I know there is supposed to be a progression to give the slack and then slowly stretch and take up the slack of the nerve.
But I didn't have the nerve pain for very long so I never really got into it.

My PTs always started with heat {warm up body for use}, then ultra sound, massage, stretches & strengthening {when I was to that stage} and then ice after or when I got home & then rest.

the ice part was mostly for my forearm tendinitis symptoms but experiment to see what combo of ice or heat is best for you also don't be afraid to experiment to find the best stretches, glides, posture, body work that is best for YOU.

Chiro uses adjustments, low level laser, NIMMO {deep massage/triggerpoint type}, infra red, and ultrasound.

It's all a bit of trial and error, don't forget the diaphragm deep breathing and drink plenty of fluids.

PS- I have a infra red heating pad {regular one works too} permanently strapped to the back of my recliner use it almost every evening.
