Summary
This study tests whether adding a hands-on joint technique (Maitland mobilization) to standard strengthening exercises (Kendall exercises) works better than exercises alone for adults with Upper Cross Syndrome—a common condition causing forward head, rounded shoulders, and upper back pain. About 58 adults aged 18 to 45 with neck or upper back pain for over 6 weeks will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Researchers will measure pain, head and shoulder alignment, and spine curvature over the study period.
