GPR
participants in this group receive global postural reeducation technique+ Kendall exercises
Global Postural Re-education
treatment techniques include corrective exercises both local and global to correct forward head posture.
first session will be to educate participants on the treatment sequence. This will be a session of Kendall's exercises as described below. This will followed be by performing GPR techniques of Anterior Chain stretch in the supine frog-like position for 20 minutes followed by posterior chain stretch against the wall for another 20 minutes. This is repeated in the first 6 sessions. Starting from the seventh session the time of holding each position is decreased to 15 minutes and a third position (standing against the wall) is introduced and performed for 15 minutes. Starting from the eighth session fourth position of sitting on the floor position is introduced and performed for another 15 minutes. total of a session will then take about 90 minutes.
Pre-treatment diaphragmatic release and deep breathing exercises are applied at the beginning of each session
Kendall exercises
exercises that correct upper crossed syndrome:
The treatment sequence will be:
a) Strengthen deep Cervical Flexors via Chin tucks. Repetition will be repeated 10 times for 5 sets.
(b) Stretching the cervical extensors. This is held for 1 minute and repeated 5 times.
(c) Strengthening shoulder retraction. Repetition will be repeated 10 times for 5 sets.
(d) Stretching the pectoralis muscle. This is held for 1 minute and repeated 5 times.
Exercises will be progressed as the sessions develop.
