In NE PA, so there are no TOS specialists near me, I'd have to travel.

I'm curious about the above post by Msudawg89. He/she talked to "him"--does that mean Dr. Stoxen himself? If so, I'd love to find out what your gut feeling was about the man. Fast-talker? Listener? Enough info passed along for you to be satisfied with the conversation?

I think I might be able to due a conservative treatment approach, and I'd like to include yoga poses that stretch the appropriate muscles, which I think are the scalenes and maybe the muscles across the chest area?

I've read that a good MT who knows about TOS can work the scalenes thoroughly enought that it's painful, but relief from some pain from TOS is the end result.
Has anyone heard of this technique?
