Not sure how accurate this one is (perhaps quite accurate).
So Eagle’rs might have two issues…
a) we can’t stay straight without impinging various structures in the neck or even reaching the point where it touches C1 lateral mass and won’t move anymore
b) anyone might get spasmed muscles/calcifications if exposed to such overloads for long time

Great visual, @vdm. When I was training for my first marathon, there was much emphasis on not letting our heads “lead” when we ran for the very reason your visual aid shows. The farther forward the head, the “heavier” it becomes. We were to think of our heads as a 10 lb. bowling ball & to imagine the stress the weight of that it would cause on neck, shoulders & back if we leaned forward. It was a very convincing way to help us maintain good posture over the miles!

Hey there @vdm,
I have snapping around my left scapula as well (styloid on left)… Did you find any help for it?
Many thanks
I have been doing physiotherapy/stretches for this. Helps to manage it. Haven’t cured it yet completely, though.

While obvious it has its fans and critics, in general it’s useful to know this idea and the rationale behind it.
A quick summary:

Excellent information! Thank you posting these links!
Definitely shows in some measure the complexity of the internal human body!!
Thank you, @vdm! It was the Joint-by-Joint Concept. I thought that made a lot of sense.
