You could try playing without a shoulder rest too! I find i’m much less tempted to grab my violin with my chin and hunch up into wierd positions if my violin is out of reach of my head. It forces me to do most of the balancing and supporting with my shoulder/chest and hand instead. I was getting insane headaches before but they’ve gone since I took away the shoulder rest ?
