First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding a hands-on technique called Maitland mobilization to standard Kendall exercises works better than exercises alone for adults with Upper Cross Syndrome—a condition causing forward head, rounded shoulders, and upper back pain. Researchers will measure pain, head angle, and shoulder position in 58 participants aged 18 to 45. The goal is to find a more effective way to ease symptoms and improve posture.
