Hi bikelet,

thanks for your reply. I definitely agree - I hadn't even noticed I was 'hypermobile' or so flexible until one of my colleagues had pointed it out, as I'd never had any problems prior to this whiplash injury. I have been adding in deep neck flexor exercises to my daily routine and find these really help at easing my neck pain. I definitely feel I'm on the road to recovery now and things are settling considerably...

As you said, identifying the triggers that will set it off is important and I know if my posture isn't good then I will feel it more. As I write this, I've neglected my posture the past few hours and can already feel the difference! Will definitely try the proprioceptive stuff. When writing the letters with my nose, should I be writing them with a small, controlled movement, or a larger sweeping motion?
