They were randomly allocated into 2 groups.   Experimental was treated with Sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG), Deep neck flexors (DNF) Strengthening & Postural correction, Control group was treated with postural correction only. Subjects were treated in 3 sessions per week for a period of 6 weeks. Neck disability index, cranio vertebral measurement using Kinovea software was measured at baseline and 6 weeks after intervention. The result was analyzed statistically.

Result: Pain, disability and forward head posture scores significantly improved in both groups.  Experimental group shows greater improvement in pain, disability and forward head posture than control group in subjects with Text neck syndrome.
