Mindful movement may fix 'tech neck' — study tests feldenkrais method
NCT ID NCT06968052
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding Feldenkrais exercises—a gentle movement approach that boosts body awareness—to standard corrective exercises can improve posture, strength, and neck function in adults with forward head posture. Sixty participants aged 18-65 who spend at least 4 hours daily at a desk will be assigned to either exercise alone or exercise plus Feldenkrais. The goal is to see if the combined approach leads to better outcomes for this common postural issue.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Feldenkrais method and corrective exercise
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective, non-drug approach for improving posture and reducing neck disability in people with forward head posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are behavioral, so benefits may vary and are not guaranteed.
