Comparison Between Kaltenborn and Mulligan Mobilization in Forward Head Posture

All participants will receive conventional treatment consisting of a 10-minute hot pack and active cervical range-of-motion exercises. The program will also include postural correction exercises, with stretching of tight cervical and shoulder muscles and strengthening of the deep neck flexors and scapular stabilizers. Kaltenborn mobilization involves applying graded, sustained cervical joint glides and distraction to hypomobile segments, beginning with Grade I-II techniques for pain relief and progressing to Grade III to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.

The program will also include postural correction exercises, with stretching of tight cervical and shoulder muscles and strengthening of the deep neck flexors and scapular stabilizers. Mulligan mobilization (SNAGs) involves applying a sustained anterosuperior glide to the affected cervical segment while the participant actively performs the restricted movement in a pain-free range, with gentle overpressure added at the end range as tolerated.
