Purpose: This study compared the effects of three different exercise interventions on neck biomechanics, muscle tone, and functional disability in adults with forward head posture (FHP). Methods: Thirty adults with FHP were randomly assigned to a cranio-cervical flexion exercise group (CCFEG, n = 10), a modified extension exercise group (MEEG, n = 11), or a self-myofascial release and static stretching group (SMR&SS, n = 9). Interventions were conducted twice weekly for six weeks. The craniovertebral angle (CVA), cervical range of motion (ROM), sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and upper trapezius (UT) muscle tone, Neck Disability Index (K-NDI), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: CVA, K-NDI, and VAS scores improved significantly in all groups (p < .05). Regarding ROM, significant improvements were observed in the CCFEG and MEEG (p < .05), whereas the SMR&SS group showed no statistically significant change (p > .05). Regarding muscle tone, left SCM tone decreased significantly in all groups (p < .05), whereas right SCM tone decreased significantly only in the CCFEG and MEEG (p < .05). The MEEG showed the greatest numerical improvements in K-NDI, VAS, and right SCM tone; however, no statistically significant between-group differences in change scores were observed (p > .05). No significant changes were found in UT muscle tone. Conclusion: All three active exercise interventions effectively improved neck function, muscle tone, and postural alignment in adults with FHP. SMR&SS yielded the largest numerical improvement in CVA, whereas the modified extension exercise produced the greatest numerical improvements in pain, disability, and SCM muscle tone reduction. The selection of these exercises should be guided by individual symptoms and functional characteristics.
