During the worst times when I was still working I was only able to make it to work and home - then I would collapse in the recliner with ice on my arms. {extreme RSI- before I knew about TOS}
I had the kids start doing their own laundry for themselves {ages 12 and up} and they still do. T shirts, jeans and socks and underwear so all pretty basic laundry wise. they did the sweeping /vacuuming - since then we got rid of the carpeting and have laminate floors now. At that time we ate a lot of take out/frozen or sandwiches - I missed cooking the most and eating my home cooking ![]() If some of your sx are from TOS there are things you can do at home to help hold some of it at bay. video link of Foam Therapy Roll = use & techniques- the final part is what the adv PT suggested for me to do opens chest/pecs and drops shoulders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pQkgyYeV30 other therapy videos- explore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAjIH...elated&search= Sharon Butlers book {in libraries} or online download programs- RSI & TOS {under 30.00} Her main starting point is to just lie flat on the floor and learn to breathe from the diaphragm and relax totally - lets the chest open and shoulders drop back and down after a day of use and work postures. If you can do those things a couple times a day you may see some relief from any TOS aspects. Also If your work postures require arms up or forward often do opposite postures during the day to gently stretch- same can be done for sitting & back postures - opposites to stretch those out too. Sometimes you have to make time- it's for your health.
