I haven't even tried 2 X a day yet, although I think I'm ready for it (one morning session, one evening, 10-12 hours apart).

TOS is so weird. If I baby it, I can start to feel better, but a little overdoing and I get reminded that all is not right.

Interestingly, I can do therapeutic exercises from PT books or from my PT for an entire hour and be fine. It's the chaotic movements of housecleaning that exacerbate my symptoms.

Figure out what your limit is and respect it at all times. Increment it only when you have an explicit reason why you think you might be able to, like a lasting reduction in symptoms. Make the increments small.
