This picture is angled slightly more than it should be, but it still shows an excellent topline and head and neck are above the line.
From where the neck joins the body, with the exception of a very small dip where the vertabrae change direction, there should not be anything above or below this line.
According to Pat Hastings, structure expert, "A topline problem is very rarely created by the spine." Instead, problems in the front and rear cause irregularities in the topline. |
