Feeling tingling/ numbness from the next through the arm? DocJen & Dr. Dom dive into the anatomy of thoracic outlet syndrome and current perspectives on conservative versus surgery as treatment options for thoracic outlet syndrome. Then, they dive into a four-stage active process in addressing thoracic outlet syndrome: breath, nerve mobility, upper back mobility, shoulder blade and core awareness. Along with their best exercises, they ultimately explain how nerves move better with less inflammation within the body.
