Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) Treatment

Relieve Pain, Restore Function, and Reclaim Your Life

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can be a debilitating condition, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms. At MTP, we specialise in targeted, effective physiotherapy treatments to help you overcome Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and return to the activities you love.

What is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome?

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when the nerves or blood vessels between your collarbone and first rib are compressed, leading to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. These can include:

Neck, shoulder, and arm pain
Tingling or numbness in the fingers
Weakness in the hand or arm
Swelling or discoloration in the arm

If left untreated, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can severely impact your quality of life. However, most people can manage or even eliminate their symptoms with the right care.

My Approach to Treating Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

At MTP, I take a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. My goal is to address the root cause of your symptoms and provide lasting relief through advanced techniques and tailored care.

Comprehensive Assessment: I begin with a thorough assessment to accurately diagnose TOS and identify the specific structures involved. This allows us to create a treatment plan that is customized to your unique needs.
Manual Therapy: Skilled in treating TOS I use hands-on techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and alleviate nerve compression. This may include soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and other targeted therapies.
Targeted Exercises: I will design a personalised exercise programme to strengthen the muscles around the thoracic outlet, improve posture, and enhance neural mobility. These exercises are crucial for preventing future flare-ups and maintaining long-term health.
Education and Prevention: Lifestyle changes are an important aspect of managing Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I will arm you with the knowledge that you need to manage your symptoms on your own, including posture correction, ergonomic advice, and lifestyle modifications.
