One of the vascular surgeons I met didn't necessarily disagree with this but did say that you first had to do a serious stretching program and only after that could you begin strengthening the back and external rotators.

I also think that our cases are potentially "mild" and on the fringe of what most are calling TOS. I'm doing strengthening and stretching together and my symptoms have improved by leaps and bounds. .Even Dr Donahue was hesitant to label me with TOS despite the fact that mra indicates a compression of the subclavian artery.
