Physiotherapy for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

Physiotherapy for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

Do you feel numbness, tingling, or heaviness in your arm or hand, especially when lifting it? It might be Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) β€” a condition where nerves or blood vessels between the neck and shoulder are compressed. It’s common among people with poor posture, repetitive overhead work, or carrying heavy bags.

Typical Symptoms:

  • Pain or tingling in the arm, shoulder, or fingers
  • Weak grip strength
  • Coldness or discoloration in the arm
  • Increased discomfort when raising the arm

Physiotherapy Management:

  • Postural correction and ergonomic training to open up the thoracic outlet
  • Stretching tight muscles like pectoralis minor and scalenes
  • Strengthening exercises for shoulder stabilizers and upper back
  • Neural gliding and breathing exercises to improve circulation and nerve mobility
  • Manual therapy and gentle traction to relieve compression

Early diagnosis and consistent physiotherapy can significantly improve function and prevent chronic pain.
