Abstract
The aim of the study to find out the effectiveness of Exercise with ergonomics posture for software professionals
Objectives
The purpose of this study to investigate the effects of exercise in forward head posture (FHP) and cervical mobility dysfunction in software professional.
Background of the study
Software workers spend a long period of time in front of a computer during working hours this will lead to forward head posture and cervical mobility dysfunction. This study the forward head posture in software professional and to create awareness about the ergonomic posture among them.
