Neck pain relief with targeted exercises
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special set of exercises called Bruegger's exercises to see if they can reduce neck pain and improve posture in people who have a forward head posture. It may help if you have ongoing neck pain and your head tends to sit forward compared to your shoulders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
