Just beware that this posture is not good for your cervical spine. I believe that my TOS symptoms originally led to my forward head posture...which contributed to cervical kyphosis (exacerbated by a congenitally narrow spinal canal)...which eventually led to cervical fusion surgery.

Damned if you do...damned if you don't!
