Freeing the neck

If your neck feels stiff, that is not to say your neck ''is'' stiff.
F.M. Alexander, Teaching Aphorisms

I) It makes sense the other way around
If your neck feels free, that is not to say your neck is free.


II) Cause and effect
By itself or through the throat (which is an associated part to the neck), the neck is part of several interconnected mechanisms:

• Posture
• Sight
• Breath
• Speech
• Mastication

So that if your neck feels stiff, it might be that it's because your jaw is stiff.
