Introduction: Forward Head Posture is a prevalent musculoskeletal posture disorder, which is characterized by forward head displacement, generally associated with modern sedentary lifestyles and long screen exposure. FHP may lead to cervical spine dysfunction, muscle imbalance, pain, and restriction of function. Physiotherapy-based interventions, specifically strengthening and stretching exercises, have been widely promoted for the management of this condition.
