When I searched Amazon for "thoracic outlet", this book came up and I ordered it. But I had a lot of things I was reading and didn't get to it right away. I sort of forgot why I had ordered it as the title kept making me think it was going to be all about the arm from the elbow down. It's not.
They mention thoracic outlet syndrome almost immediately and even pec minor syndrome. There was a lot of great info in the book including ergonomics, self massage, postural exercises and proper nerve glide instructions. Also, a variety of patient histories showing that different things worked for different people. The authors are a PT who treats RSI, TOS, etc. and a software engineer who suffered from such problems. I just finished reading it, so I'm not ready to comment on how the advice all pans out. But I found it well written, honest and well informed. And they correctly point out that recovery takes months or more. I already knew much of the material from other reading sources, but still picked up some tips. I imagine folks here would have a similar experience. I recommend it for any TOS sufferer.
