Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) occurs when the nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and the first rib are compressed. This can lead to pain in the shoulders and neck, and numbness in the fingers. Here is a test you can perform to test for TOS, you’ll need a partner for it:

* Have your partner sit comfortably while you feel for their pulse with your index and middle fingers
* Gently raise the arm up overhead and note whether the pulse decreases

Tested positive or experiencing symptoms? MoveU’s methodology is designed to address the root causes of TOS and provide lasting relief. Here’s a quick look at how our approach breaks down:

1. Assessment: Identify your specific TOS triggers and how they relate to your posture and movement patterns.
2. Education: Learn about how to address symptoms effectively through proper body mechanics.
3. Customized Exercises: Engage in exercises that target the muscles and joints involved in TOS. These are tailored to your needs and progress over time.
4. Progress Tracking: Monitor your improvements and adjust your program as needed to continue progressing and reducing symptoms.
5. Consistency and Commitment: Stick with the program, stay consistent with your exercises, and embrace the MoveU philosophy to see lasting changes.

By addressing the root causes of TOS and focusing on proper alignment, muscle balance, and mobility, we can help you fix yo s#!t and get back to living pain-free! 🫡

Best explanation of that Ortho Test I have ever seen

[BMCKINN]

When you said "chest breathing" I nearly cried. As a pre-teen I consciously started chest breathing because I was skinny (still am but im not insecure about it now) and wanted to literally puff up my chest to seem bigger than I was. I've also had trouble keeping my arms overhead for extended periods, which I learned in church holding absolutely nothing so I've always known it wasnt a strength issue. But it's always neen annoying explaining that to people.

I’m having surgery on left side. Getting cervical rib removed and surgery for the nerves. Then onto my right side for surgery after I heal from the left side. Took from 2011 until 2024 to get diagnosed. 13 years and finally about to get some help. I can’t wait. I’m so excited for this surgery.

I appreciate and Adore you!!! This video just helped me confirm what I have. I had 2 bad incidents that mess up my left shoulder and arm.
Now I can Speak this Language to the doctor

[janetspell]

Took 2 years before mine was finally diagnosed!!!! Simple little test with pulse check by some testing equipment confirmed it. By then the pain in my arm was so bad that I asked if they would just cut it off, ..I didn’t care anymore, .. I just wanted pain to stop because I couldn’t take it anymore. Had surgery by specialist in this diagnosis and he removed my 1st cervical rib. Best outcome ever and still ok to this day. (26 years ago)!!

So, I have had a sore shoulder and neck for 4 months. Being treated for adhesive capsulitis.
I just did this test and barely got my arm up and the pulse disappeared!!!!
I suspected TOS but now I feel this is what I need to address. Thanks

[l.r.]

😮🎉well expressed. Next how treat it'

[KayExposesTruth]

So if you are a person that suffers with this how do you improve and minimize the symptoms??? Thx doc LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ❤

[adamb]

Thank you sooo much. I feel seen. I now know what has been causing me pain for so long. Next question…how do we fix it?

[tyleranderson]

Definitely have this 😄

Are there any exercises to help fix ?

[thatswhatshesaid]

This is why I've never been able to put my hair up in super cute hairstyles!! My arms go numb before I can get anything accomplished. Wish I knew about this when I was a teenager. Could have done something about it earlier. So many tears I didn't need to shed 😂

[aarongodwin]

I'm pretty sure that this can also be caused from shoulder issues as well as disproportional muscle development in the delta. As in, front delta stronger than rear delts. Resulting in rolling your shoulders forward and not allowing the rear delts to be able to pull the shoulders back and open up the joint spacing?

[DelusionDispeller]

And what are we supposed to do if we have this

[harislade]

Thanks . I get this. Although it's been getting better daily hanging from bars. I also get a big head rush after spending time in a deep squat. Ant ideas about that please?

[Just_ride_it]

Any technique for someone with Peripheral stenosis with numbness down the arm to the index finger

[OllyOllieAli]

For anyone wondering why the pulse shows the nerve— the axillary artery (which feeds the radial artery he felt) actually passes through the “
brachial plexus, which is where the nerves he’s looking at intertwine/branch out. It’s impossible for the axillary artery to be compressed at that point without compressing the nerves as well

[poojakatkade]

Please make a video on palmaris bravis spasm

[nortega]

Does the app have a treatment plan if we show positive for TOS? 😃

[xmmaddenhighlights]

Typically its more common for the vein to be the problem not the artery. Arterial TOS makes up less than 1% of all cases. I had venous TOS in both arms. Getting my 2md rib removal sirgery in a couple weeks

You can also do the ROOS test if you do not have a partner
