I didn't learn TOS from a textbook. I learned it from my own journey.
I'm Dr. Jim Heafner, PT, DPT, OCS — a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. But before I was treating TOS patients, I was one. In my first semester of PT school, I was diagnosed with venous TOS at 21 years old. I developed a blood clot, underwent rib resection surgery, and permanently lost function in a major vein.
For a period afterward, I lost use of my right chest due to nerve injury. I recovered while I was learning the science of rehabilitation in real time — watching my own nerves regenerate, my own vascular system adapt, my own strength come back.
That experience is the foundation of everything in this course. It's not theoretical. I've been the patient on the table.
Your body is not fragile. It's designed to adapt. I'm proof of that — and I built this course to prove it to you too.
You've Been Told to "Wait It Out." That's Not Working.
Maybe you've done physical therapy that didn't target TOS specifically. Maybe a doctor told you your only options are "watch and wait" or surgery. Maybe you've spent hours on YouTube trying to piece together which exercises are safe and which ones will set you back. You're not imagining the pain. You're not being dramatic. And you're not broken. You just haven't had a system built specifically for TOS — one that tells you exactly what to do, in what order, and why. That's what Fix Your TOS is.
