Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
It’s always amazing how small repetitive movements and overactive muscles can alter body mechanics. Something as simple as carrying a bag on the same shoulder every day can have a massive impact and potentially cause a lot of damage!
TOS is a condition involving the vessels of the neck, shoulder and arm. It’s important to realize any signs or symptoms of TOS to avoid further injury or possible nerve damage.
Symptoms include:
-Numbness and tingling in the arm, hand or fingers.
- Pain in the neck, shoulder or hand.
- Cold arm, hand or fingers.
Causes of TOS are not always known but are typically related to trauma, repetitive use injuries, and poor posture.
These symptoms can also be misdiagnosed as a shoulder impingements or carpal tunnel so it is important to talk to a certified trainer or specialist so they can identify and locate the problem and advise you with a corrective exercise program to eliminate pain and fix the problem at the source!
