Thoracic outlet syndrome

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.
