One must also eliminate other issues and not group them into the category for neck reset, bridge rotation, collapsing neck block, inadequate braces, are all seperate issues to neck reset issues, they contribuite.

That's an interesting approach, but why that way instead of resetting the neck?

Spanish heels, which cannot be removed without cutting them, you leave them intact and work around them.

Ah, yeah, Spanish heel. What an amazing excellent thing to leave in the past...
