Forward Head Posture (FHP) causes muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulder regions. Various exercises are suggested to correct FHP. During these exercises, internal and external focus techniques are used to enhance motor learning and improve muscle balance. However, there are no studies examining how these approaches affect neck muscle activation in individuals with FHP. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of external and internal focus techniques, aimed at improving cervical alignment during postural correction exercises, on cervical muscle activation in individuals with FHP.
