Digest Number 488/hypothyroid

[Guest guest]

Hi, thanks for the reply. It seems like we practice under different

systems, so you'll probably have to be pretty specific to help me

understand. My traps are tight and my neck can get stiff, but I

don't know what a nuchal groove is. I'm not sure what to look for on

UB 2 and UB 10.

 

I would welcome any ideas you might have! Thanks!
