In Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), there is a narrowing between the first rib and the collarbone. This causes massive pressure in the upper chest, affecting nerves or blood vessels. The narrowing can be congenital but can also be exacerbated by certain lifestyles and work habits. Poor posture, intense training such as bodybuilding, or accidents can trigger this syndrome.

Essentially, a conservative therapy attempt will be initiated for the time being before surgery is considered. Conservative therapy can consist of, for example, physiotherapy and postural training.
