Seeing, hearing this way too much these days in regards to the pain with PT
Please, be aware if it hurts its not the correct therapy
So many patients contact us about physical therapy. And even though therapists say they can treat TOS the patient really needs to interview the therapist on their protocol.
What is their education is TOS? They should all have education and experience in Alexander techniques, Sharon Butler and Peter Edgelow protocol.
What is the plan for your injury, post op?
Success rate?
How many TOS patients have they treated?
Manual therapy to floss and elongate the nerve shafts is a good thing however this should be done at serious baby steps gradually being able to open hand, straighten elbow, open thoracic BP area.
If there is any strengthening invloved its is the wrong therapy for a TOS pt and will only hinder in the long run and maybe worsen your condition
