Fascia Release Technique for Forward Head Posture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a specialized soft-tissue technique (IASTM) to standard physical therapy helps improve forward head posture better than therapy alone. Forward head posture is when your head juts forward, which can cause neck pain and stiffness.
