Cynthia, the "chin tuck" is not an ultimate fix (obviously since your Mom's
doing the tuck and still experiencing symptoms :) ); it's beyond frustrating
that school has taught you that.
You also need to define chin tuck. Are you talking about the retroflexed
chin position (true chin tuck as defined by GI docs and inserviced to the
list by Dr. Irene Campbell-Taylor) or chin down position?
Access this list daily, you'll learn so much from its members! (I learned
both of the above points here, not in school.)
