PT resources in Boston area?

. Does anyone know a good PT for TOS in the area? I saw an MGH surgeon (Dr. Lee) yesterday who didn't think I was a surgical candidate (thank heavens) yet, and recommended PT. I have one name, Kathy Phillips at MGH, but I would love to have a few more in the area (doesn't have to be MGH) if anyone knows a good person. In the ideal world, they would also know how to work with a scoliosis on the same side and the impact of yoga on their exercises.

Hi there,

Did Dr. Lee give you a referral to a specific physical therapist? I am a patient of Dr. Donahue at MGH, and he has been amazing in my treatment of TOS over the past year. Prior to my bilateral surgeries, I did try PT as well with two separate people - Eileen Collins at MGH and Catherine Wee at Spaulding Rehab in Cambridge. Both clinicians have experience working with patients with TOS.

He didn't give me a specific name, a lot of specifics for the physical therapist to do instead. Thanks for the names, I will look into them.
