It is often linked to musculoskeletal pain, restricted cervical mobility, and altered muscle activation patterns. The condition manifests with shortening of the upper trapezius, suboccipital muscles, semispinalis, splenius capitis, Sternocleidomastoid (SCM), and levator scapulae. Concurrently, there is weakness or inhibition in the deep cervical flexors, resulting in an imbalance between the cervical flexor and extensor muscle groups. These muscular imbalances contribute to dysfunctional cervical movement patterns, altered proprioception, and increased joint loading, particularly at the atlanto-occipital and cervico-thoracic junctions. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of Sub-Occipital Muscle Inhibition (SMI) and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) in improving postural alignment, reducing pain, and enhancing cervical range of motion in individuals with Forward Head Posture. It will address a common postural and musculoskeletal problem that affects a large portion of the population which will contribute to a more effective management approach for Forward Head Posture and will guide clinicians in selecting targeted, evidence-based therapies for their patients with FHP. As there is a lack of comparative studies assessing their relative effectiveness specifically for FHP, it will contribute novel data to the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation science. A total of 38 participants with FHP will be randomly assigned into two equal groups (n=19). Group A will receive conventional physiotherapy along with Sub-Occipital Muscle Inhibition, while Group B will receive conventional physiotherapy combined with Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. Both groups will undergo 18 treatment sessions over six weeks, administered on alternate days. Both interventions are expected to show positive outcomes in improving FHP; however, the study aims to determine which technique is more effective. The results will help clinicians understand which manual therapy methods work best. This can make it easier for them to choose the right treatment for Forward Head Posture.

Resistive Expiratory Muscle Training focuses on strengthening exhalation muscles through resistance during exhalation, improving breathing efficiency. Posture Correction Exercises address forward head posture by stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones to optimize breathing mechanics. Combined Resistive Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Training integrates both inspiratory and expiratory muscle training, using resistance for both inhalation and exhalation, to maximize respiratory efficiency and overall lung function in COPD patients. The objective of the study is to determine the effects of combined exercise and resistive respiratory muscles training on dyspnea, chest expansion, craniovertebral angle and pulmonary function test, in COPD patients with forward head posture.\n\nPatients of COPD with forward head posture will be recruited by convenient sampling technique using seal opaque method. 72 patients will be equally divided into three groups with 24 patients each. Posture correction exercises will be added as baseline treatment for all three groups session. GROUP A will be treated with resistive inspiratory muscles training (RIMT). GROUP B will be treated with resistive expiratory muscles training (REMT). GROUP C will be treated with combined resistive inspiratory and expiratory muscles technique (RIMT+REMT).treatment session will be of 8 weeks and will include three reading (pre, post treatment and one follow-up).
