Abstract Forward head posture (FHP), commonly described as “text neck,” is an increasingly prevalent postural deviation linked to extended digital device use. It leads to muscular imbalance, cervical discomfort, and impaired daily function. Corrective exercise interventions, such as scapular retraction and McKenzie techniques, are widely utilized to address FHP, yet comparative evidence of their relative effectiveness remains limited.
