I did the exercises out of one of the books (Pain Free at the PC). Outside of TOS, I had plenty of misalignments and they definitely helped. I didn't get 100% relief, but then nothing has given me 100% relief anyway.

In retrospect, I wish I had gone to a clinic to get specific measurements and exercises.

SM = Santa Monica? Maybe I'll trek out there.

Btw the "most helpful" ranked review here gives advice on which book to get:

Also, I'm a huge fan of this short but effective stretch set:

Title is overhyped, but the content is still good. Check the reviews for details.
