Brief Summary: To determine how vitals heart rate blood pressure respiratory rate oxygen saturation and craniovertebral angle will be affected by thoracic SNAGs in individuals with forward head posture
Detailed Description: Forward head posture FHP leads to abnormal activation of neck muscles This leads to respiratory complications and changes in blood pressure Due to regional interdependence Upper thoracic spine can restrict the movement of cervical spine Thoracic spine is is closely related to Sympathetic nervous system T1-T5 spinal sympathetic neurons provide sympathetic innervation to the vessels that supply to the heart tissues and upper portion of the body Thus thoracic mobilization can regulate main body vitals as well as other visceral activities that maintain homeostasis

There is a manual therapy technique called sustained natural apophyseal glides SNAGs in which patient performs active movements along with the passive movements performed by the physiotherapist It not only has biomechanical efficacy which includes pain reduction and improvement in ROM but it also has neurophysiologic effects Previous studies lack to provide how thoracic SNAGs can affect vitals Thus this study aims to determine the effect of thoracic SNAGs on vital signs including heart rate blood pressure respiratory rate and oxygen saturation Furthermore this research will add to growing body of knowledge that how thoracic SNAGs can influence the correction of forward head posture
