Comparing two exercise methods for forward head posture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of breathing and posture exercises to see which one better helps people with forward head posture. If you join, you will do one of these exercise programs and help doctors learn which is more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two non-drug treatments—special breathing exercises and hands-on manual therapy—to see which works better for fixing forward head posture and reducing neck pain in university students.
This study tests whether the Feldenkrais method (gentle movement lessons) can improve forward head posture in people who sit at a desk for long hours. You may join if you are 18–65, have forward head posture, and spend at least 4 hours daily at a desk.
This study tests a program that combines posture correction and breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD who also have a forward head posture. It aims to improve breathing and reduce shortness of breath.
This study tests whether posture correction exercises improve the electrical activity of neck and jaw muscles in young adults with forward head posture. Participation may help you improve your posture and prevent future jaw or neck issues.
This study compares two types of training for university students with forward head posture: strengthening deep neck flexors (muscles at the front of the neck) and motor learning based on brain plasticity (teaching your brain new ways to control posture). The goal is to see which approach works better for improving head alignment.
This study compares two treatments—Brugger's relief exercises and kinesio taping—to see which one improves forward head posture better. Forward head posture means your head sits too far forward from your shoulders, which can cause neck strain.
