Default first p/t--is this norm?

Last week, EMG showed carpal tunnel, physiatrist also put TOS as diagnosis, though all she found was CP. I def has more pain in the shoulder, neck, underarm than even CP area.
So, I had my first p/t today and he had me lie down on back, breath in, while he pressed downward on my first rib--he said he wasn't trying to move it, just loosen. On both sides, he had me breath in and then out as he push down--hard to explain, hope some of you understand. It didn't hurt, just felt like a strong stretch. Is that normal?
I am having the usual flare up that I get by every afternoon--behind right shoulder blade, under arm burn, some front of shoulder burn, back of upper arm. I also get this weird neck thing all around that feelis like fire ants crawling.
OK, just trying to see if I'm on the road to healing...? He showed me some ways to sleep with pillows, sleep has gotten terrible the last few nights--I instinctively roll at some point from my side and in starts burning all over and wakes me.
Thanks for all the help,
khaki
