Bruegger's exercise for chronic neck pain with forward head posture
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether Bruegger's exercise, a movement therapy, can reduce chronic neck pain and improve posture in people who have a forward head posture. It may help you if you have neck pain for a long time and your head tends to sit forward of your shoulders.
