The Effects of Cervical Mobilization Combined with Thoracic Mobilization on Forward Head Posture of Neck Pain Patients

摘要

As people in modern society spend an increasing amount of time sitting in front of computers at work, forward head posture (FHP) has become quite prevalent in recent years. This deformation causes injuries to soft tissues, thereby inducing non-specific neck pain, restricting the range of motion of the joints, and even causing radiating pain or myasthenia, depending on the region of neuromus-cular lesions, when the deformation becomes severe1' 2) Therefore, recovery from FHP is considered very important for relieving neck pain.
