Summary

This study tested two different treatments for Upper Cross Syndrome, a common condition causing pain and fatigue from poor posture. Sixty adults with neck, shoulder, or upper back pain took part. One group received Janda's approach (stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones), while the other got instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (a type of massage with tools). The goal was to see which method better reduces pain, fatigue, and improves posture.
