Thoracic Outlet Syndrome occurs when nerves or blood vessels are compressed between the neck, collarbone, and first rib. This can result from poor posture, muscle tightness, or repetitive upper-limb activity.
TOS often causes arm pain, numbness, or weakness and may mimic cervical or shoulder conditions if not properly assessed.

- Numbness, tingling, or pain in the arm, hand, or fingers
- Weakness or fatigue with overhead activity
- Swelling or discoloration in the arm (vascular form)
- Neck, shoulder, or chest tightness
- Heaviness in the arm after repetitive use or carrying loads

At Unify Rehab & Performance, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of posture, muscle tension, and movement to identify the exact site of compression.

Treatment may include:

- Manual therapy and mobilizations for the neck, first rib, and shoulder complex.
- Soft tissue therapy to release the scalene, pectoralis minor, and surrounding muscles.
- Acupuncture to decrease pain, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tone.
- Rehabilitation: posture correction, mobility drills, and progressive strengthening of scapular stabilizers and upper back.
- Education on workstation setup, exercise form, and self-management strategies.

Our Unify approach addresses both the cause and contributing movement patterns, helping restore normal function and prevent symptom recurrence.
