“…The participants were given a list and description (with illustrations) for each exercise and were required to demonstrate their ability to perform each exercise correctly. The exercises had been selected on the basis of an overview of source literature [14][15][16][17]. Their goal was to increase the stability and flexibility of the myofascial tissue within the cervical spine.…”

The head constitutes 6% of the total body weight, which is linked to the cervical spine and all other joints through the kinematic chain by various muscles. The forward head posture is one of the most common postural disorders and seems to be especially dangerous. The goal of the work was to assess the impact of 4 weeks of training neck and nape muscles on the head posture. Material and Methods: The subjects were 20 participants, who performed neck exercises for 20 days. The head posture in a sagittal and frontal plane was assessed photogrammetrically twice: before and after the exercises. The following have been used for the assessment: craniovertebral (CV) angle, head tilt angle (HT), and frontal head tilt angle (FHT). Results: After a 20-day program of neck and nape exercises the values of specific angles were compared. The results indicated significant changes in the head posture. In the sagittal plane: the average value of the CV angle before the training was 47.17°, and 50.82° after the training; the average value of the HT angle before the exercises was at 20.99°, and 24.31° after. In the frontal plane the average value of the FHT angle before the exercises was at 2.71°, and after 20 days of training the average value of this angle decreased to 2°. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that a short, home-based targeted exercise program can improve head posture.

“…Previous research has shown that slow and calm diaphragmatic breathing can activate the vagus nerve, a critical pathway for transmitting and modulating sensory information between the brain and peripheral tissues [ 40 ]. Lee et al (2015) assigned participants with neck pain to two groups, the shoulder stabilization exercise group (SSEG) and the control group [ 41 ]. The study found that the SSEG experienced a significant reduction in PPT in the UT muscles after exercise ( p < 0.05) and had significantly lower NDI scores than the control group ( p < 0.05).…”

Background: Forward head posture and rounded shoulder posture are common postural variants found in upper crossed syndrome, which can lead to limited neck mobility, respiratory problems, and other issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation, combining diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, on young men with upper crossed syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic over 4 weeks. Methods: The study included 37 participants aged in their 20s and 30s who were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group received diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, while the control group only underwent shoulder stabilization exercises. Both groups were trained three times a week for four weeks using telerehabilitation. The comparison of within-group pre–post differences in the experimental and control groups was conducted using a paired t-test, while the effects of treatment were assessed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: After 4 weeks, both groups showed significant improvements in the pain pressure threshold of the upper trapezius, craniovertebral angle, round shoulder posture, shoulder tilt degree, neck disability index, and closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (all p < 0.05). The results showed a significant difference between the Time effect (p adj < 0.05/4) for both sides of PPT, CVA, and STD and both sides of RSP, NDI, and CKCUEST, and an interaction between the Time × Group effects (p adj < 0.05/4) for the Rt. PPT, CVA, and STD. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the telerehabilitation training group, which included diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, was more effective in improving Rt. PPT, CVA, and STD in males with UCS.

“…Kim et al () identified a moderate correlation between scapular asymmetry and pain intensity in patients with mild neck pain. A clinical trial conducted by Lee, Shin, and Lee () found that shoulder stabilization exercises reduce pain and increase function in patients with neck pain, supporting the relationship between the cervical region and the scapular and shoulder muscles.…”
