Abstract in brief

  • The study compares the effectiveness of upper thoracic spine mobilization and mobility exercises versus upper cervical spine mobilization and stabilization exercises in treating forward head posture (FHP), finding that thoracic interventions yielded better short-term improvements.
  • Participants receiving thoracic treatments showed significant gains in craniovertebral angle, cervical extension, pain reduction, and neck disability over six weeks, with more participants reporting positive global ratings of change.
  • Overall, mobilization and mobility exercises targeting the upper thoracic spine produce more favorable short-term outcomes than cervical spine stabilization exercises for individuals with FHP.]
