“I can’t move my head very far to the left,” my client M said as she turned her head to demonstrate her problem.
M’s neck stuttered slowly through the turn, like a gear mechanism with something caught in its cogs. Her eyes narrowed and squinted with a willful look. Cords of neck muscle fluttered like a taut rope along a flagpole banging against the metal. Her head stopped halfway before her chin approached her shoulder. I could sense an invisible wall of resistance. Something refused for her neck to go further.
