This guy's story is a good example of how important myofascial release(trigger point work) is. He even thought he might have TOS, but it just turned out to be trigger points in his upper back.
I've been doing trigger point work daily on my entire body. My tool of choice is a Thera Cane. I prefer that over a tennis ball or foam roller, but whatever gets the job done. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...6927791&page=1

I have found that balls (for me softballs & Yamuna), soft/MELT foam rollers, and theracane/backnobber tools all have their place in myofacial release. I still use all three tools in addition to other modalities (massage, TENS/ultrasound, Graston, rib mobilization, etc.).

This guy's story makes me wonder how many people out there have TOS surgery, and the actual problem is tight fascia and trigger points somewhere else in the body, besides the scalenes, rib, or pec minor.

I believe I could have avoided surgery if I had found the right therapist (Dr. Ando) sooner. Dr. Ando has surmised this as well.

I bet i have knots here too
I have them all over my back but i think theyre latent trigger points. My serratus anterior has knots and theres barely any muscle!! Def on board with the fascia theory after my experience with my pec minors People with one side of their rib thats constantly elevated need to look at their lower body or mild scoliosis. My left (elevated rib side) leg appears shorter and i walk with a slight limp. Ive gotta figure that out
