A member asked:

What exercises should you do after surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strengthen shoulder: Exercise generally targeted at strengthening the shoulder girdle, improving posture and improving range of motion. Also depends on whether the surgery was for vascular or neurogenic complaints. The recovery after surgery for vascular compression is much quicker than when the problem was neurologic symptoms
