Summary
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Sahrmann's and Janda's—for treating lower cross syndrome, a condition caused by muscle imbalances from poor posture. Researchers will measure pain, pelvic tilt, and lower back curve in 54 adults aged 18 to 40. The goal is to see which method better eases symptoms and improves posture.
