Pec minor release is a surgery. It is the least invasive, but definitely not a cure all. The pec minor is cut to completely disable it, it sort of shrivels up and is absorbed by the body is my understanding. I think it's a fantastic surgery, I even think people with chronic poor posture should consider having it. Sometimes I feel like I want to slouch now, because I am tired, but I can't!

If your doctor thinks you have tos, you probably do. It's not the first thing that people come up with as an explanation for symptoms, it is usually the last.

Good news is that only about 30% of the people with tos ever need surgery according to the internets. Many of us here are those whom have had "Poor outcomes" or whom are "complicated cases" such as myself.

If you get massages, get deep tissue.
