Hello! For the past couple of weeks or so, I have been having back pain. It has been diagnosed as thoracic (upper and on the left...) I am currently going to Physical Therapy for it. I have been told that it is being caused by the alignment of my head and neck with my back. I hold my head a couple of inches forward, which puts pressure and strain on the muscle. I have now been told that I cannot sit on the edge of my chair to play anymore, but must sit back in the chair with my back touching the chair. This is not in any way a comfortable playing position for me. (The past three and a half years of being told to sit up straight at the end of the chair is ground into my brain.) Has anyone else had similar troubles? If anyone has suggestions, I would welcome them. This is also a little warning to anyone else out there who may lean at all forward while playing. Thanks!
~Jo
