TOS & Risks Associated with "Being On All Fours" Movement
Was recently diagnosed with TOS and a subclavian artery compression. I've read on the boards here that many PTs have recommended that those of us with this condition avoid being in a hands and knees position and especially the pushup position.
Question: Why?
Why does this movement cause such a problem? What is moving causing even more compression / tightness?
I know that when I do pushups I get radiating pain down my scap. I just don't get why this causes such an issue vs. other movements.
Thanks.
