Hi, How much time (days,weeks, months?) roughly the "worsening" phase should last ? Best regards

[@Lokaa1983]

Hi Kjetil Thanks for a great channel! I found your channel when I was searching for my information about TOS which I belived I had. I've read your article about TOS and I have started working with my breathing and doing the following exercises: Exercise for the clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid, exercise for the longus colli & longus capitis. One thing that I have noticed is some weird changes in my eye sight. Some weird elemnts are outside of my direct vision and I find it harder to focus, somewhat blurry vision. This lasts an hour or so when it happens. Is this normal exacerbation or should I stop what I am doing? My pain in my problem arm is basically gone, I sometimes feel the pain I had before in my shoulder but some heavy breaths with my chest removes the pain.

What have you done to work with your breathing if you don’t mind sharing? I have been having breathing trouble for a long time and never get a straight answer on what breathing exercises to do

@@katie1897 In some other video Kjetil mentioned that it is good to work on breathing with your chest instead of your stomach. I could definately feel the difference.

[@katie1897]

@@Lokaa1983 oh ok I’ll look for it. Just breathing deep focusing on with the chest then? Or Have you been doing specific exercises?

[@Lokaa1983]

@@katie1897 I noticed that all my breathing was with my stomach so I tried to learn to breath with chest only and started doing that from time to time. No specific exercise.

After watching your videos i believe that my anterior scalenes and SCM are weak as well as my deeper cervical muscles. However when I try to work on these muscles, I can feel my suprahyoid muscles always clenching and activating...thus I'm always stuck with a perpetual double chin. Any advice on what I should be doing and not doing?

[@kvikram19]

I had this question as well but I think the key is to simply rest and practice. Eventually you should be able to stop clenching the suprahyoid. Have you gotten better?

Good insight.

Hello, Have you ever treated any patients with chronic coccyx pain? Any thoughts on how to address this problem?

Usually it is referred nerve pain. Treningogrehab.no/lpcs
