I am feeling that if I continue training my shoulder stability and deep neck muscles, along with avoiding looking down at the cell phone and excessive computer work I can slowly reverse my TOS. This is my hope. I've been doing PT since about the beginning of January 2019. Twice a week until recently, now 1 time a week. It's a constant thing that I think about my posture now, I recognize when I am slumped over, and try to recognize my breathing as well. I've learned to utilize stretching and my own bit of soft tissue work on a daily basis as needed. One thing I am going to ask my PT next time is to dry needle a lot around my neck area, whatever she can get it and also try and mobilize my top rib. Actually sleeping is the most comfortable thing for me. I usually take my affected arm and lay it straight out from me and I turn my head to the left. I lay on my back. This allows my scalenes on the bad side to slightly stretch and open up, and my arm is extended out to open up the area around pec minor. This seems to be the most comfortable sleep position, sometimes I just go on my side and say screw it. The days after a long day in the computer chair are definitely the worst right now. I am looking for a job that gets me away from desk work. As soon as that happens I am out of there. |
