| The extent of postural changes is determined by neck imaging and cranio-vertebral angle determination. Such a Copenhagen questionnaire on functional pain in the neck, whose validity and reliability of the Persian version has been confirmed, is completed by the patients. Timepoint: Before the interventiont and after the intervention. Method of measurement: The Craniovertebral angle (CVA) will be measured in order to asses the posture. The CVA is the angle made by the line that drawn from the seventh cervical spine to the tragus and the horizontal line of the seventh cervical spine, This angle represents the position of the head relative to the C7 vertebra, which is less than 49 degrees in people with forward head posture. The lowering this angle measured, the greater the forward head. In this research the CVA angle is measured by Left-sided profile photograph. For this purpose a camera with 35-70mm zoom lens is mounted on a tripod and loaded with slid film will be used. The lens aperture is set at F-stop 8, zooms to 7Omm, and the camera is placed so that the center of the lens is 4m from the subject, with the subject in approximately the center of the lens so as to reduce lens error, and in order to observe this distance, At a distance of 4 meters from the camera, a line is drawn on the ground, and the person standing must make sure that the toe tip is on that line, ie the legs are completely behind the line. The front of the camera stand is located 120 cm from the wall, and the location of the camera stand on the ground is marked, as well as the location of the rear camera stand on each test run.and with the camera perpendicular to the ground, parallel to the facing plane of the subject, and approximately level with the subject’s pelvis to minimize parallax error.(Gonia is used to determine the camera frame, which is plotted 90 degrees on the wall using a Gonia angle, and the angles are colored on the wall), to ensure that the head does not rotate, A circular fra | — |

| Chest expansion. Timepoint: Before the intervention and after the intervention. Method of measurement: Chest expansion: Chest expansion is measured with the subject standing, hands on head and the tape is placed circumferentially over the xiphoid. The subjec is inhaled maximally, then exhaled, and a value is recorded; the subject then is inhaled maximally and a second value is recorded. Total change is re- corded as the value at maximum inspiration minus the value at maximum expiration. | — |
