My TOS of 8 years is currently being cured without surgery. A physical therapist trained from the INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL ART (see PT list or google website) is working my rib down and opening up all areas of my body (all along my arms that a surgery could never fix) using deep tissue, myfacial, rib mobilization, etc.

I had it BAD and it gets better every time I see her.

Do not think surgery is a quick fix; it would not have fixed my elbow that she is fixing.

Also, she is moving my rib not only down, but also back. She said most only treat it going one direction but it moves in many.

that is so great. very happy for you!

Sweet! Thanks for the update. I'm glad you found a good therapist. It seems like a full body approach is the way to go. Leave no stone unturned.

Happy to hear this news.

such great news! I too am being fixed by PT.

Heybro and Iris,

So happy for you! My elbow pain is going away as well, as my therapist, also a CFMT is treating it and other issues along my arm, neck, ribs, my jaw and my diaphragm etc. These CFMT's from the Institute of physical Art are another breed of therapists, I have great respect for them. They have given my life back to me

great news heybro! I'm so glad this list is helping people. I am better-but definately not cured, I still dont think I can go back to work at my regular job which makes me very sad not to mention a big financial and insurance hardship

here is the list:
