Default My case is similar to yours... any other suggestions?

Hi Anne4tos,

I find myself in a similar situation as yours. I do the Edgelow breathing exercises (only core program) in a limited way along with the three different types of breathing (Diaphragm, lateral costal and sternal) to move the scar tissue, and it does seem to move the heaviness in there, I don't know whether its the scar tissue or some accumulated fluids but it does feel good. What about you? Does it help you even a little bit?

Any thing else that helps you? Have you been to a good massage therapist or an osteopath? Anyone you can suggest to manipulate or mobilize? I am in the east Bay area.
Does everyone with TOS have trouble sleeping on their sides? I can't sleep on either of my sides at all.

Thanks, stos2
