is EXACTLY what my pt does, i see a lotta youtube vids on nerve glides but they never emphasize keeping the shoulder down with your hand like that the part about tendons vs nerves is interesting

Holy cow, I know what you mean! Was totally jealous when I saw that. My traps are like 3 X thicker even though the rest of my frame is not, and they do not yield to anything. I have no doubt they a contributing factor to my TOS.

actually i realized my pt basically has me doing this exercise but with my arms out at 90 degrees ilke an L on both sides..i think to keep me from irritating my arm pit. anyways im not that bad at it actually!you have to keep your hips tucked in tho or else you feel it in your lower back.
anyways eventually she will move me to all fours. i tried doing bicep curls and my l arm got SO FATIGUED. i really think its my shoulder/lower bp/arm pit that carries all my neural tension.

That guy would have Trap envy if he set his sights on me. His back is so defined! Where's his bulging trap hump?

Maybe TOS surgery should include "upper trap reduction".
