Summary

This study looked at whether adding Pilates exercises to standard physical therapy helps children aged 12–17 with text neck syndrome—a condition from leaning over phones or tablets. 24 kids were split into two groups: one did only conventional therapy, the other added Pilates moves like cat stretch and swan dive. After 6 weeks, the researchers measured pain, daily function, and neck movement. The goal was to see if Pilates offers extra relief for this modern posture problem.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease neck pain and improve daily function in children who use phones or tablets a lot.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed study with only 24 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement might be small or not last long.
