Brief Summary

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

sixty patients with forward head posture will be randomized to three groups Group A: will receive traditional treatment ( isometric exercise for deep neck flexors plus sub occipital release).

Group B: will receive traditional treatment plus muscle energy technique for upper trapezius, elevator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid.

Group C: will receive traditional treatment plus mulligan mobilization
