Stos:
I do diaphragmatic breathing, but I prefer the Feldenkrais method of breathing. It seems to move more ribs and expand into the brachial plexus more than Peter's method. I also use his air pillow, ball on a stick and 3" and 6" foam roller. I strengthen my longus colli with simple chin tucks rather than the whole blood pressure apparatus. I do this routine twice a day. It does feel good to do it along with cardio. The only thing which has really helped me though is manual therapy. I receive 2+ hours of hands on therapy per week focused on myofascial release and breaking up scar tissue and adhesions. I wish I had done this at the start of my problems. I will be returning to an Osteopath soon. Where are you in the East Bay? There was/is a PT in Berkeley named Lori Sweet who treats TOS. I can't find a link for her as she is either no longer in practice or I'm spelling her name wrong. Dr. Ellis would probably have a contact number for her. Anne Add-on Edit: Sorry to read Peter is no longer practicing. He's such a nice guy and always a comfort when in pain. Last edited by Anne4tos; 04-24-2012 at 11:38 AM. |

Do you have a good source for the Feldenkrais method of breathing, such as audio, DVD, youtube or URL? Obviously I can search; I'm just looking to see if you have a recommendation.

In Los Angeles, Dr. Paul Methot, chiro, includes myofascial release in his treatment. He is at Healing Hands Wellness Center in Larchmont.

Sorry I just saw this today. Thanks so much. Did you have any specific Therapist you were referring to? Is It Carolyn Hamilton or Pat Scott? Has anyone with TOS seen them? Last edited by stos2; 05-07-2012 at 07:11 PM. Reason: adding a question |

Stos2: I believe they both have a lot of experience with TOS, but each therapist is different in their technique. Maybe you could see both and decide if there is a fit for you.
I'm glad you found Lori as well. You have a lot of excellent options to chose from now. I'm jealous! Hope you can avoid surgery again with some good hands-on work. |
