LOL.

Do you think there is any merit in it?

I was wondering if the way you hold your neck and not this "text neck" position that's so common would be making issues further down the chain.

yes the way you hold your neck is the key, its in alexander technique and how important correct posture is in keeping the body mobile correctly

Having said that, i tweeked my neck saturday demonstrating correct use of yoke and must have hit a bit of cartilege and neck is a bit grindy at the moment

Always wanted to learn the Alexander Technique but like all things that have some merit they charge a fortune for it. :roll:
