i bought this guys book.

its all about shoulder mechanics. the exercises look HARD. so maybe itd be good for someone who's recovering and looking to strengthen their shoulder

Hard to desrcibe wat i did as i said it was a prcoess that took months and months, it wasnt just one thing that did it.

Without the guidance of a skilled and helpful PT i could not have done it.

serratus pushups and lower trap activation before working out was something that helped me alot though , especailly lower trap activation

Hey Hellothere, I'm in NSW and seeing a physio, have TOS symptoms struggling to get the correct muscles activating.

Scapula is mildly winging, were you getting PT in Sydney by any chance?

So good to know you are feeling so good. So happy for you and thanks for posting, specially about what is helping you. :) Have you been told to keep up some of the exercises pretty much throughout your life?

Hi Hello There,

That is great, congratulations that you are no longer having symptoms of TOS!! Since you did P.T. for 14 months with a skilled therapist, you must be very familiar with the specific exercise!

Could you describe "lower trap activation"~ what kind of movement did you do?

Thank you!

I have heard some doctors say that neurogenic TOS can resolve with rest and "appropriate physical therapy". I had p.t. for TOS with a special program called the Edgelow Protocol and it was mostly special breathing training, lying on my back with my knees up and doing pelvic tilts training my diaphragm to relax. Even now if I have a flare up I can get in that position and do pelvic tilt breathing and it helps. Somehow it makes the sympathetic nerves relax.

Hello there if you could email me the details of your physio I would really appreciate it. *edit*
Even if they are not in my area perhaps they can recommend someone who has experience in this area.

Cheers.
