Summary

This study tests whether a 10-week stretching and strengthening program can improve posture and reduce pain in people with forward head posture and rounded shoulders. Fifty-six adults aged 20–40 will either do supervised exercises or a home-based self-exercise program. Researchers will measure changes in scapular position using 3D CT scans and track pain and function over three months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
exercise therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, home-based exercise program to reduce neck and shoulder pain and improve posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 56 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the exercises require consistent effort without supervision.
