The forward head posture (FHP) is characterized by the head tilting forward compared to the shoulders, resulting in pressure on the neck and surrounding muscles, which may lead to chronic neck pain. The study focuses on a 47-year-old female patient with FHP experiencing symptoms such as dizziness and neck discomfort and emphasizes the importance of various treatment options. After six weeks of personalized training designed to improve posture and alignment, the patient's neck pain improved significantly. Evaluations using different assessments showed significant improvements in pain intensity, head and neck alignment, neck pain and function, severity of dizziness, and neck mobility. This case report discusses the role of physical therapy in treating muscle and balance problems to alleviate symptoms of various health conditions and shows lasting positive effects. It emphasizes the interconnection of conditions such as pain and dizziness and their impact on overall recovery and health. The physiotherapy approach aimed to improve patient outcomes and functional abilities by addressing muscular-skeletal and vestibular problems. This study highlights the complex relationship between FHP, vertigo, and neck pain.
头前倾姿势（FHP）的特征是头部相对于肩膀向前倾斜，导致颈部和周围肌肉受压，这可能会导致慢性颈部疼痛。该研究聚焦于一名47岁患有FHP的女性患者，她出现了头晕和颈部不适等症状，并强调了各种治疗选择的重要性。经过六周旨在改善姿势和身体 alignment 的个性化训练后，患者的颈部疼痛明显改善。使用不同评估方法进行的评估显示，疼痛强度、头部和颈部 alignment、颈部疼痛和功能、头晕严重程度以及颈部活动度均有显著改善。本病例报告讨论了物理治疗在治疗肌肉和平衡问题以缓解各种健康状况症状方面的作用，并显示出持久的积极效果。它强调了疼痛和头晕等状况之间的相互联系及其对整体恢复和健康的影响。物理治疗方法旨在通过解决肌肉骨骼和前庭问题来改善患者的治疗效果和功能能力。这项研究突出了FHP、眩晕和颈部疼痛之间的复杂关系。
