In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, Anna reviews the relevant anatomy involved with thoracic outlet syndrome. Understanding the anatomy, especially of the spaces the neurovascular structures transverse, help to argue that the traditional standard protocol for TOS treatment and exercise prescription doesn't just not make sense but is the opposite of what would be best.
Anna shares the red flags to look for in assessing vascular TOS vs. neural, as well as provides insight on assisting a neurosurgeon and thoracic surgeon in diagnosing a unique case involving the phrenic nerve and diaphragm paralysis.

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
