What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the impact of the ELDOA technique on reducing neck pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing disability in patients with Upper Cross Syndrome. The study focuses on individuals suffering from muscular imbalances that lead to poor posture and associated pain. Participants will undergo the ELDOA technique combined with conventional therapy to assess its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms related to this condition. Measurements will include cervical range of motion, kyphosis, and pain levels using standardized scales.
