First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two hands-on treatments for forward head posture, a common condition where the head juts forward causing neck pain and stiffness. Thirty-eight adults aged 18 to 40 will receive either suboccipital muscle inhibition or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, plus standard physiotherapy, over six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, neck disability, posture angle, and neck movement to see which approach works best.
