Neck Technique Study for Head Posture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle hands-on technique for the back of the neck to see if it helps improve forward head posture (when your head juts forward). It may help people with neck discomfort or posture issues.
