Forward head posture is a common abnormal posture characterised by weakness of muscle around neck and shoulder. Persistent forward head posture can impair respiratory functions and cervical proprioception. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the effectiveness of exercises to improve the forward head posture. The online literature search performed on various databases, i.e. PubMed, Cochrane, PEDro, Science Direct and Scopus databases resulted in 601 articles, but only 11 articles were found relevant to perform meta-analysis. The primary outcome measure was craniovertebral angle and other outcome measures were neck pain, cranial angle, cranial rotation angle and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Methodological quality of studies was assessed by PEDro scoring and risk of bias assessment was performed using Cochrane collaboration tool of risk of bias. Results of meta-analysis revealed that craniovertebral angle (CVA), cranial rotation angle (CRA), visual analogue scale and NDI improved significantly (P<0.00001) in forward head posture participants who followed any type of exercise regime compared to the participants who did not follow any exercise program. However, cranial angle was not found significantly (P=0.73) improved in exercise groups. Exercises are effective in improving postural parameters, such as CVA, CRA and pain and neck disability in subjects with forward head posture.
