Summary

This trial investigates whether dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) breathing and myofascial release can improve forward head posture and reduce neck pain in university students aged 18 to 28. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: DNS breathing plus conventional exercises, myofascial release plus conventional exercises, or conventional exercises alone. Over six weeks, researchers will measure changes in head and shoulder angles, pain levels, and quality of life to see which approach works best.
