Abstract :

Postural problems are going to become a global threat and static posturing in day to day life is causing novel health problems. A total of 30 male and female subjects of age group 20 to 30 years with Forward head posture underwent the intervention. subjects were assigned on the basis of sample of convenience and randomly allocated into two groups– Experimental group: receiving application of Anterior head weighting with treadmill walking and conventional group: receiving conventional stretching and strengthening exercise to specific muscles. Intergroup comparison showed statistically significant difference in forward head posture and deep cervical flexor muscle endurance (p
