Abstract:Background: Forward head posture refers to a condition where the head is positioned in front of the body’s natural alignment, often accompanied by increased cervical spine curvature, rounded shoulders, and thoracic kyphosis. Objective: To evaluate the combined effect of Breuggers and body blade exercises on craniovertebral angle and pain in patients with forward head posture.
Methodology: The patient with forward head posture was assessed before and after four weeks of performing Breuggers and Body Blade exercises, four times a week. The craniovertebral angle was measured using photometry, and pain levels were evaluated with the visual analog scale.
Results: The study demonstrated that Breuggers and body blade exercises effectively improved craniovertebral angle and reduced pain in patients with forward head posture.
Conclusion: Combined effect of Breuggers exercise and body blade exercise showed improvement on craniovertebral angle and reduction in pain for patients with forward head posture.
