I'm 37. And my neck issue is largely resolved, posture in daily life is fine, it's jusy something specific to southpaw that flares it up. So I need to look into my spinal alignment in my boxing guard. Or it could be could be how I throw one of my punches, or hold unecessary tension in my traps - who knows. But at the end of the day rather than sideline myself I want to get some good training in while I sort it out, even if it's not my 'real' side. No one is the worse off for it.
Valid point re:seeing other kinds of professionals but I would consider the condition to be improving so I don't really think it applies.
If you're having to box in an opposite stance to avoid inflammation, it's not resolving very well.
And no, posture correctness is not common in modern boxing. Unfortunately neck and shoulder injury jury are.
