        abstract = {Background: The Forward Head Posture (FHP) is known as an internal factor that causes dysfunction with shoulder and neck pain. The FHP results in a posture in which the extended head and upper cervical, and the lower cervical vertebrae flex. Inappropriate postural habits of studying and computer work and carrying a backpack of inappropriate weight are among the risk factors associated with forward head posture. Therefore, students are more likely to develop this deformity because they spend more time studying and working on computers in higher educational levels. Bruegger’s Exercise promotes postural awareness, reduces neck and shoulder tension, and enhances overall spinal alignment, contributing to a pain-free and functional daily life. Kendell Exercise focuses on strengthening the muscles that support proper neck alignment, helping to correct the forward positioning of the head. Aim: To compare the effects of Bruegger’s Exercise and Kendall Exercise on FHP among undergraduate students. Method: An experimental study was performed. 30 subjects were selected as per inclusion criteria and were assigned to Group A and B. Group A received treatment with Bruegger’s Exercise and Group B received Kendall Exercise. Total 20 sessions were given to each patient in 4 weeks. Both groups were reassessed after 4 weeks of treatment. Results: There was a statistically significant changes with reference to Craniovertebral angle (CVA) and Neck disability Index (NDI) in Group A. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the Group A which received Bruegger’s exercise showed a highly significant improvement in increasing CVA and minimising neck functional disability.},
