The goal of this Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial is to investigate the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on postural stability, muscle strength, muscular endurance, mandibular functions and proprioception in sedentary individuals aged 18-45 years with head forward posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Malalignment). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment? Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.

Postural Stability
Timeframe: Postural stability was measured at 3 different times (before treatment, 8 weeks after treatment, 12 weeks follow up). The average measurement time for each participant was 5 min.
Joint Position Sense
Timeframe: Proprioception measurements were made at 3 different times (before treatment, 8 weeks after treatment, 12 weeks follow up). The mean measurement time for mandibular position sense for each participant was 8 min. Cervical joint position sense measure
