Summary

Musculoskeletal postural issues stemming from infant care positions can exert a significant impact on the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. These positions can induce mechanical alterations in the spine's natural curvature, potentially resulting in long-term deformities in postnatal women such as forward head posture (FHP), ultimately contributing to physical disability over the long term.so, The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Pilates exercises on FHP in breastfeeding women.
