At CMS Physiotherapy, we specialize in the treatment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), a condition where nerves or blood vessels in the area between your collarbone and first rib are compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, shoulders, and arms. Through targeted physiotherapy interventions, we aim to alleviate your symptoms, restore mobility, and improve your quality of life. Our approach to treating TOS is designed to address the root causes, reduce inflammation, and improve overall functionality, helping you regain your strength and mobility.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when the brachial plexus nerves or subclavian blood vessels are compressed at the thoracic outlet, the space between your collarbone and first rib. This compression can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
Common Symptoms:
Pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
Numbness and tingling in the arm or fingers
Weakness or fatigue in the arm or hand
Decreased blood flow to the arm, causing coldness or swelling
Difficulty with overhead movements or reaching
