Isolated Dynamic Stretching Exercises
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2015
After struggling with undiagnosed Neurological Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (nTOS) for 18 yrs, I started to develop some isolated isometric exercises that could be done at home. These isometric exercises were specifically targeted to re-awaken muscle fibers that were no longer active and at the same time not aggravate the compressed nerves in the Thoracic Outlet as much as possible. The theory and reasoning supporting the successfulness of these Isolated Dynamic Exercises exercises is founded on the proven success of Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) finding the weakness and not the tightness in imbalanced muscles. These IDS exercises are meant to slowly rehab the body back into postural restoration, stabilizing joints and restoring muscular balance.

IDS Scapula Exercises Revisted

Watch this exercise video first if you are brand new! I go into more detail about the mechanics and techniques of the IDS Scapula exercises than the previous videos.
Rhomboids, Posture with Physio Ball
มุมมอง 25หลายเดือนก่อน
This exercise gets deep into the Rhomboids and works directly on our postural muscles. I would rate this as an intermediate level exercise because there is no Isolated Dynamic movements in these exercises. However, working on posture as much as possible is important.

Very important video of the IDS neck exercises that can re-stablilze the neck over time if done properly.
In-Bed Neutral Posture Towel
มุมมอง 12หลายเดือนก่อน
I have found this rolled up towel under the spine to be one of the few ways to relax in a neutral posture position, especially with TOS.
Posture and IDS Exercises
มุมมอง 12หลายเดือนก่อน
Our modern world is full of ways to entrench our bad posture to provide the preconditions to develop muscle imbalances and incur TOS. If we don't change our lifestyle and rebuild our posture from the inside out, we will be stuck managing TOS pains forever.

Tim, at 7:25 you mention how you it took you a long time strengthen the muscle along the left back of your neck (same here!). Did you do this exercise while it was flared in order to release it, or did you wait until the muscle was relatively calm first? Thank you!
I did it while it was flared. The muscles are flared in tight because they sense instability and weakness. I think that particular muscle tendon is over compensating for the opposite side of the neck which was my TOS side. In my experience, these muscles will stay tight forever unless they are flexed and then relaxed repeatedly. They are stuck in freeze mode until we guide them safely out of that trauma response. The second part of the equation is strengthening the muscles on the opposite side of the neck at the same time.
@@timp2433 , thank you!! Does makes sense but dang it's hard to do stretch them when everything is flared. Makes my ears ring.
@@debbiemc8600 yes you are right. Until you get to the point where the first rib moves back into place, it is very much of a battle to get any forward progress. Everything is such a mess when those nerves are constantly being activated in the brachial plexus. Try to work on the muscles that are not being directly activated by the TOS compression. Scapula stability is very important so that the first rib well be able to drop back down.
