I tried this about nine years ago. It helped a some, but then I got a waterbed, and the warmth helped too. My mattress really sucked back then.

Yeah I saw Art plenty of times. Overall he was good though sometimes a bit rough. As with other practitioners that I saw, I tended to revert. In other words, my muscle spasms simply come back after being fixed.

Side sleeping is the only way I sleep. Sleep on my back for too long and I always wake up in pain. On my Stomach is out of the question.

I've seen a couple of your videos and your shoulders looks compressed inward. I noticed this when you first started posting before you even mentioned you slept on your side.

Plus you can't escape the physics of what side sleeping does to your body. It's hours of the wrong kind of compression for a TOS person.

I wonder if you can find a variation on back sleeping. I've had luck with putting towels or pillows under my shoulder and/or arms. It can be the difference between "pain" and "no pain" for me.

I sleep very comfortable, without pain, on my sides. Why would I want to sleep on my back if I wake up in pain? That makes no sense! It's just your opinion.

Because you have TOS. Because you are adding several hours of compression in the thoracic area every time you side sleep. Those aren't opinions, only the conclusion is.

You may wake up without pain, but I also saw your video regarding the low temp in your hands. And I wasn't waking up in pain from side sleeping either. But I have experienced the positive results of removing the compressive force of hours of side sleeping. Therefore I think you're missing out.

I'm happy it's helping you but it's still your opinion, and your experience. If I can't sleep because of pain, that's not helping me. I'm not missing out on anything. A lot of things that actually are helping me you seem to snub your nose at, so opinions and experiences vary.
