Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Maitland mobilization combined with Kendall exercises versus Kendall exercises alone on pain and postural alignment in adults with Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS). Upper Cross Syndrome is characterized by muscle imbalance leading to forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and increased thoracic kyphosis. The study will evaluate pain intensity, craniovertebral angle, thoracic kyphosis, and rounded shoulder posture

Treatments
Experimental: Maitland Mobilization Combined With Kendall Exercises
Participants in this group will receive Maitland mobilization techniques applied to the cervical and thoracic spine, combined with Kendall exercises targeting postural correction. Mobilization will be performed by a trained physiotherapist using graded oscillatory techniques. The exercise program will focus on strengthening weak postural muscles and stretching tight musculature associated with upper cross syndrome.
Active_comparator: Kendall Exercises Alone
Participants in this group will receive a Kendall exercise program focusing on postural correction. The program includes strengthening of weak muscles and stretching of tight muscles associated with upper cross syndrome.
