I've done TONS of rhomboid work to pull that shoulder back. I don't think there's much more I can do there. Those muscles are strong. This has to be be pec minor related where the pec minor is winning the "tug of war."

I had dropped the frequency of my pec minor tissue work to more of a "maintenance mode" situation. David Leaf indicated that was the right course of action. I have a feeling that this along with me upping my game in the gym to get the left shoulder/chest strong once again may have tightened the pec minor up again.

Waiting for a call back from Dr. Donahue. Going to bring up pec minor botox. Maybe this is something that I'll need on a regular basis.

The trick is to be able to use the arms, without engaging the neck muscles, you can master that , TOS will go away. Cant be done alone you may need assistance from a PT to help re train that movement pattern, but for people like us that would be the cause id say.
