As you notice the picture of my 'newest' 2nd-hand bicycle on Day #330, you'll see that the handle bars are rather high, though not as high as the ones on my Raleigh Bike that I did the PEI trail with.
As an older person, I find that since I am not in a hurry to 'get there', but 'am there' all the time, I like to sit upright to cycle. That way I can see the world, and catch sight of potential photos, and most importantly, keep the stress off my back and my neck.
It still gets your shoulders, though, so several times a day, when you stop, lift your shoulders up as close to your ears as you can, and hold it several seconds. This pulls the knots out.
Better yet, every time you see a town, look for a massage therapist and stop in.
A good rubdown is also good for the soul.
