I have overdone my work outs several times since I had my Skype appointment with Kjetil. It is really easy to overdo because you want to get better fast! However the body just does not work like that. Like I always say, it likely took you years/months to get here. It can take years/months to get you out. The key is knowing how to get out so you have a clear path to recovery. Good luck |

You have to approach all parts, spasms and or trigger points in the muscles as well as any stuck or raised top rib..
Just focusing on 1 part will not do much in the long term.. Other areas to look at - pec minor lymph drainage overall body postures & uses.. past whiplash or old injuries sleeping postures- pillows/mattresses ergonomics site search can find those topics for more on them..and more in the sticky threads.. https://www.neurotalk.org/search.php

I have TOS and my shoulder quite often falls forward and compresses the nerves in the neck. However in my case the TOS is causing this and not the other way around.
I was diagnosed with the exact thing that you mention here (muscle imbalance in the shoulder girdle causing TOS). And I was given exercises to do. Intense, hourly exercises every day. Well I continued that for 18 months and my condition got worse so I got a second opinion. After some scalene block tests (us guided injection), I was told that the exercises were totally pointless because the only thing that would fix my TOS is surgery. Through overuse, muscles had grown abnormally and were compressing the nerves and arteries in the Thoracic outlet region. The shoulder falls because the scapula (shoulder blade area) is not getting enough blood so it weakens and is often painful with pins and needles. Like I said, in my case the TOS is causing this. If you are reading this please do not just simply do exercises hoping your TOS will go away. In some cases it might but the clock is ticking and the longer the nerves are being compressed, the more likely it is that they will become damaged permanently. Ask your doctor for a scalene block test. Even if you have to pay for it yourself. It's worth it. |

According to How to truly identify and treat thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) - Treningogrehab.no
It is the scalenes that are incredibly weak and that is why they are "overused". He recommends strengthening the scalenes. We're you doing any scalenes exercises/neck or just strengthening your shoulder? Did you have surgery and how did it go? |
