First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a massage-like treatment (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to standard posture exercises could quickly improve forward head posture in young adults. 45 people aged 18-25 with forward head posture took part. They were split into three groups: one got the massage tool plus exercises, one got exercises only, and one got no treatment. The researchers measured head angle, neck movement accuracy, and muscle endurance right after a single session.
