Abstract Backround: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of the combined application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques, and neuromuscular exercises of the cervical and thoracic area on the improvement of the functionality of patients with mechanical neck pain and accompanying forward head posture (FHP).Methods: Twenty patients with neck pain and FHP were randomized and received eight treatment sessions of either targeted IASTM in combination with neuromuscular exercises (Group A), or classical massage and the same set of exercises (Group B). The cervical vertebral angle, cervical range of motion (ROM) and strength, and pain and disability were measured throughout the treatment period and in the two and four week post-treatment period.Results: The combined application of IASTM and neuromuscular exercise (Group A) contributed to a significant improvement in FHP and disability. Both interventions improved cervical ROM and strength in the short term. Pain was also improved for both groups in both short and long term.Conclusions: Combining IASTM and exercises for the cervical and thoracic area can induce positive postural adaptations and improve the neck pain patient's functional status.Trial registration: ISRCTN, ISRCTN54231174.

Giving Feedback

Incorrect posture is a wide spread bane in today’s world. It can cause back problems due to long term pain and can lead to depression. Wearable technology often provides a way to realize this aim by measuring the body posture of the wearer and giving feedback to him on correct or incorrect posture. Therefore, to correct one's posture, a correct sitting and standing position has to be established and trained gradually. The posture monitoring device alert the user just in case of poor posture by sending a message on the smart phone and powering up the vibration motor which is attachedon the hardware device. The device is low cost and works for people of every age group.
