Thoracic outlet syndrome, commonly abbreviated to TOS, may very well be one of the most difficult and controversial diagnosis in clinical medicine.

Whether that be assessing the condition, providing hands on or exercise based treatment or even knowing when best to refer on a patient that may need further investigation or even surgical intervention.
