TOS is one of the most misunderstood conditions in musculoskeletal medicine. Most patients spend years accumulating conflicting advice — and standard approaches often make the condition worse, not better.
Tom Barton works with TOS patients referred directly from vascular surgeons and sports physicians, bringing a framework built around four foundations: understanding your anatomy, finding positions of safety, restoring correct breathing mechanics, and building strength progressively from that foundation.
This approach treats TOS as a condition of irritation — not irreversible damage — and consistently produces outcomes patients describe as the first genuine progress they’ve made after years of searching for answers.
Tom’s clinical experience spans ten years with Australia’s Olympic swimming programs at the Queensland Academy of Sport, yoga teacher training, and extensive specialist TOS work across both elite sport and chronic pain populations.
