Levator scap is a massive issue. I’ve found weakness in the rotator cuff muscles are a significant contributor. After doing side lying external rotation activates these muscles activated and neck pain almost disappeared. Next day huge headache and soreness in the ext rotators. Seems weakness in ext rotators “drags” the scapular causing stress on levator hence the headache. The correlation is very strong. Thanks man

Question regarding your book:
Am I supposed to do all three phases in one day or do I do each phase for a certain amount of time before moving on to the next phase?

Can neck soreness and stiffness be caused by your sinuses draining? I do stretches every morning. It feels really good, but through the day i have some minor neck pain. I want one of those foam rollers! That part of my back needs to decompress and i think that might do the trick!

When you feel dizzy while you speak, it comes from the TMZ problem or from neck problem?
