Hi Hello There,

That is great, congratulations that you are no longer having symptoms of TOS!! Since you did P.T. for 14 months with a skilled therapist, you must be very familiar with the specific exercise!

Could you describe "lower trap activation"~ what kind of movement did you do?

Thank you!

I have heard some doctors say that neurogenic TOS can resolve with rest and "appropriate physical therapy". I had p.t. for TOS with a special program called the Edgelow Protocol and it was mostly special breathing training, lying on my back with my knees up and doing pelvic tilts training my diaphragm to relax. Even now if I have a flare up I can get in that position and do pelvic tilt breathing and it helps. Somehow it makes the sympathetic nerves relax.
