Summary

This study looked at whether adding special neck exercises to Pilates reformer workouts helps improve balance. Thirty women aged 30-49 who use computers at least 6 hours a day took part. They were split into three groups: one did both neck training and Pilates, one did only Pilates, and one did nothing. Balance was measured before and after the program.
