looking for new ways to treat pain from TOS, physical therapy is not working like it used to, any one know any good treatments, already had surgery, scaleingectomy.

Hi,
What type of things did they do for you at PT?
Was it very personalized for you & how you were responding to therapy, or did it seem to be a standard approach with moving you into strengthening when you still have symptoms & pain?

How did you acquire TOS- repetitive /desk work or other?

I have had good luck with a mix of Sharon Butler's program, expert chiropractor(he also does PT type therapies/modalities), advanced PT, self care & posture work. I did a lot of self trigger point work w/tennis balls for quite awhile.

IF stim
Low level laser
trigger point work
far infrared - I bought this kind of heating pad

there's' some pics in my profile photo album of some basic things I do also for easy stretching to open chest/pec/shoulder areas
