Our user asked: "I have been seeing a chiro for thoracic outlet for about 10 weeks I have made alot of progress but seem to be at a standstill. doing shouler strengthing exercises. Many stretching exercises Is there more I can do ? would more aggressive PT help? Thanks"
 
Ask a PT Response: "Glad to hear you are doing better. In regards to your question "would more aggressive PT help?" was the chiropractor able to determine what factors may be contributing to the TOS ie. poor posture, anatomical abnormalities, etc..? Another question is what are your current symptoms at this stand still? Quite often working together as an interdisciplinary team, patients are more likely to achieve maximal outcome when all treatment approaches would have been exhausted."
