[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2539162, member: 503862"] Yes tilting my head to look up really is not good for me. Balance goes and I generally feel sick so I try not to do that, no more curtain hanging for me LOL and I think that wall papering will soon become a thing of the past because when I have to look up it also causes co-ordination issues and I seem to soon lack concentration. I recently tried to take up swimming after not doing any for over 50 years. Started on breast stroke was a nightmare because I was lifting my head back against my neck to try to swim. Backstroke seemed ok but there is always the problem of knocking into people - Front crawl might also be a good option - if I use a good breathing technique and I can keep my head linear to my body so not causing much stress to my neck. I am finding swimming quite invigorating so I hope I can keep it up. I found a copy of the physio exercises that helped me.
