FWIW I will add my two cents-
1. I agree with Donna, the artical is older.
2. Every TOS doctor I have seen thus far, ( 2 neurologists and 1 orthopedic, all pretty familiar with TOS) have told met hat PT is generally useless. Personally, think that partially because of a lot of PT's who are not familiar with TOS, but I think it is telling that every one of the dotors has told me the same about the PT.

Of course, I am still trying the PT, because if it works I think it is a better option than surgery
