The Study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chin tuck exercises in improving forward head posture. To assess the impact of cervical extension exercises on forward head posture. To determine which exercise protocol provides superior results for FHP
The study focus on understanding Forward head posture (FHP). Forward head posture (FHP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by a shift of the head forward in relation to the vertical axis of the body. This condition increases the load on the cervical spine, causing discomfort, pain and impaired musculoskeletal function. The incidence of FHP has increased significantly due to sedentary lifestyles and prolonged use of electronic devices, making it a pressing problem for healthcare providers.
