I think we all know by now that forward head posture contributes to TOS symptoms. Your scalenes start to do more work and get tight. So if we somehow inhibit the scalenes to disengage something needs to pick up the slack.

Right?

So the question is, what neck muscles, posterior muscles I'd gather, need to be strengthened?

I've been watching videos today on exercises that are best for a pinched nerve. All of these videos show one movement over and over:

* The double chin exercise

Now last time I had an episode I did start doing this pretty frequently. The symptoms disappeared and I stopped doing that exercise.

I'm wondering if maybe this kind of strengthening and others could help give the scalenes a break.
