  • Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a painful and often debilitating condition that can be difficult to treat. If you suffer from thoracic outlet syndrome, give yourself some relief with this self massage and myofascial release designed to target common nerve impingement sites. We’ll loosen and open up muscles that entrap nerves in the brachial plexus, which runs from the spinal cord in the neck down through the hand. This will alleviate pressure on those nerves and reduce symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness. These symptoms can be experienced in the neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, hand, or fingers. So have a comfortable seat and join me in this self massage for thoracic outlet syndrome.

    this is the best day ever! I have been dealing with this pain in my body for five years. I have spent thousands of dollars on massage, physical therapy chiropractic and orthopedic doctors. I am equally elated and furious that these simple techniques were all I needed!

    Thank you so much I am compiling a playlist of videos showing me how I can relieve my own thoracic outlet syndrome because after years of physical therapy and recently being completely unable to use my right arm due to weakness and intense nerve pain shooting all down my arm into my hand I'm not going to wait for a diagnosis because I know this is what's going on with me and stretches and self-massage have helped me get my arm back online much more than the physical therapy office offered me.

    Thank you thank you. I was seen in the ER today and a wonderful physician diagnosed TOS. I have had every symptom for almost twenty years with no mention of TOS. When I asked one specialist regarding the huge and painful muscle in my arm pit she laughed and said it’s probably fat. A neurologist that saw me in the hospital told me it was just tension from my three children. I never mentioned my children. Just the areas of pain. His diagnosis was stress and told me I just need a Valium.
    Finally, after all these years I have a diagnosis and plan.
    Thank you. These exercises truly helped as I wait a neurologist work up.

    OH MY GOD, I've tried all nerve flossing exercises out there which would basically just increase my symptoms (which occur as cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands). My hand and shoulder have been aching all the time, nothing would help me. And I did these exercises two days in a row and the pain is magically reduced to the level that I don't care anymore! I can't believe, it's been killing me mentally. I'm so thankful for the video. My saviour! It's amazing how you can get a real pain in the wrist which comes from your neck...

    Your TOS massage has helped me. Have had tight shoulders all my life bc of having to deal with a difficult mother and in my 60s it got worse. Spent money at a chiropractor but then I found out about TOS. Had been watching your videos and doing your self massage for 2 years but now I know about TOS I do this massage every morning.
