In UCS, certain muscles are becomes tight while others become weak, leading to postural dysfunction and potential joint issues. Upper Crossed Syndrome is a postural dysfunction characterized by an imbalance between certain muscle groups in the upper body. Objective of the study is to compare the effects of comprehensive corrective exercise (CCEP) programs and muscle energy techniques (MET) on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with upper crossed syndrome patients (UCS). 

Methodology: A quasi-experimental design involving two groups with pre-test and post-test measurements. Both male and female were selected. 20 patients with upper crossed syndrome (UCS) aged between 25 to 40 years were selected for this study. Group A received a comprehensive corrective exercise program (CCEP) and Group B received Muscle Energy Technique (MET) Visual analog scale and Neck Disability Index  were used to measure the pre test vs post test values.

Result: The study reported significant improvement in function in group A compared to group B in response to intervention.

Conclusion: The study concluded that comprehensive corrective exercise programme effectively reduces pain and disability and improves function in patients with upper crossed syndrome.

Keywords: Upper crossed syndrome, Comprehensive corrective exercise program, Muscle energy techniques, Visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index.
