ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two types of physical therapy—Maitland mobilizations and McKenzie exercises—on people with Upper Cross Syndrome. This condition is often caused by poor posture and can lead to muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulders, resulting in pain and limited movement. The researchers want to see if combining these therapies can help reduce fear of movement (called kinesiophobia) and improve the range of motion in participants.

To be eligible for this trial, you need to be between 18 and 45 years old, have been diagnosed with Upper Cross Syndrome, and experience neck pain rated between 4 and 8 on a scale of 0 to 10. Both men and women can participate, but those with certain medical conditions, such as previous neck injuries, surgery, or specific diseases, cannot join. If you choose to participate, you can expect to receive personalized therapy sessions designed to help improve your neck and shoulder function. This could lead to less pain and greater ease in moving around.
