Default Lower Neck/Upper Back Pain - Machine too low?

I took a week long break from my quilting projects while planning out Christmas presents - and noticed when I went back to it today, that I was getting some pain at the base of my neck, kind of in between my shoulders (on my back). My Mom has been quilting much longer than me and says it's probably from leaning over so much - but I'm not sure how to remedy this.


Have any of y'all dealt with this kind of pain? Did you remedy it by raising and/or lowering your machine height? Different chair? Shorter period of stitching?


I really do enjoy quilting, but I can't be causing long term back/neck issues like this (I'm already in physical therapy for other joint issues and I'm only 29! )
