What can you see in the clip?

Hypertonus or imbalance in the trapezius muscle and improper posture contribute to tension throughout the area, which indirectly results in compression between clavicle and first rib. This area is particularly vulnerable to trauma or excessive overhead. The clip places this within “Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
