Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Physical Therapy

Currently, there is no official nationwide approach to TOS therapy. The American TOS Association does not endorse one specific modality at this time. However, we have provided links of physical therapy interest as well as links to other approaches TOS patients have advocated.

Are you sure you have been diagnosed right? Is it really TOS?

Have you done your research on all forms of TOS therapy?
Is your therapist up to date on the latest TOS therapy?
Is your therapist aware of the details of TOS surgery?
Has your therapist treated other TOS patients?
Have you talked to your TOS physician about the appropriate therapy?
Have you talked to other TOS patients about therapy?

Below is a list of therapies TOS patients have advocated.
