I have an interesting article, but i don't understand well the conclusion.

The very last section.

The article say that repetitive mouvement induce change in the brain, and that is responsible for the motor neurone problem (maybe scalene's tone).

They suggest a therapeuthic strategy, how do you understand it ? (at the very end) :

" The redifferentiation of sensory feedback information could be accomplished by implementing a series of repetitive, cognitively demanding, sensory-discriminative haptic and movement exercises designed to progressively
reestablish cortical map order and differentiation.

Even if the initial origin of the pain and inflammation characteristic of RSI is biomechanical, the repetitive
inputs that generate it must also be degrading representations of movements and feedback signals from skin,
muscles, and joints. The many hundreds to tens of thousands of hours of repetitive inputs that lead to RSI
probably generate what are essentially learned changes in forebrain representational zones, which must be
reversed by a period of sensory learning-based, highly attended exercises designed to redifferentiate and reorder degraded representations of movements and afferent feedback sources."

I don't know. It's too technical for my brain.

not so good..

anyway i try to see if it is revelant to tos.

I read it as your brain has learned how to direct your movements in a way that is harmful and needs to be "re-programed" by physical therapy (i.e. learning how to move correctly).

ETA: They do love their big words, don't they?

I understood it a little bit as I have previously done some study of the brain as well as reading Thomas Hanna's books on somatics.

What I don't see in the text you pasted are what specific exercises one would do for TOS, or how one would derive what exercises to do for a given condition.

Tying into Holles comment, it looks they have rediscovered Feldenkrais type therapy.

Personally, I just need my damn neck muscles, intercostals and pec minor to stop ratcheting my ribs up.
