		bent neck 
		I  have realised in the last week that my neck is not perpendicular to my shoulders.  It is slightly slanted to the right.  There was one morning about a week ago that I woke up with a very sore neck, and was laying on my side with no pillow, and although I can't remember I suspect that I stretched the left side of my neck too much.  On the other hand, maybe this was unrelated.  I started a strength training program 5 weeks ago with deadlifts - maybe I pulled something in my left side?
 
 Either way, I want a straight neck again, i.e. not slanting to my right side.  I am in China for the next few months and don't have access to a physio, although I am going to the doctors tomorrow to see what they say.
 
 Currently I look like the guy in the following picture, although not as slanted (yet): http://www.zindakhuda.com/images/aamir/afterhealing.jpg
 
 I really hope someone here can give me some advice about exercises I can do, even if it means sitting infront of a mirror all day with correct posture.  Having correct neck posture is more important than any work I currently should be getting on with, so I am prepared to put in many hours to get this fixed.
 
 My own thinking is the following: I think I need to strengthen/tighten the left side and stretch/decompress the right side. (?) I am also thinking that if I generally strengthen and grow all of my neck muscles the hypertrophy will balance me out again.
 
 Please help me, I'm quite depressed about this.

		Re: bent neck 
		Perhaps post a picture of yourself. This guy has a spinal  scoliosis of some sort which you can see in his shoulder alignment. His next position is probably secondary to that. scoliosis of some sort which you can see in his shoulder alignment. His next position is probably secondary to that.
