Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the effect of postural correction exercise in universities students regarding cervical sagittal posture, head flexion angle in forward head posture.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Informed consent will be taken from the participants, then we move further toward their demographics which will lead to initial readings after completion of authenticated questionnaire, then application of performing technique/exercise protocol by therapist and note the measurements again then interpret and analyze the data through data analyzing software which will lead to conclude the process.
