neck & shoulder pain commiseration

After throwing (sitting down) for more than 30 years, this fall I've noticed
that I have neck and upper back pain and tension that I've never experienced
before. I keep blaming it on poor posture because I catch myself hunching
over the wheel and bringing my shoulders forward as I throw.

Because I just don't want to take time to go to my chiropractor, I keep
trying to find home remedies, and making a concious effort to sit up
straighter and bring my shoulders back while throwing. But as soon as I get
into it, I find myself slumping right back over the wheel!

I sure hope you get some good advice for a remedy for this, Cindy. I could
use some, too.
