Alexander technique for upper cross syndrome in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether the Alexander Technique, a method that helps improve posture and reduce muscle tension, can help teenagers with upper cross syndrome (a common posture problem where the shoulders round forward and the head juts out).
