Neck pain was measured using Neck Disability Index (NDI), shoulder pain was measured using DASH questionnaire, Forward Head Posture (FHP) was measured using CVA angle by photogrammetry. Theresults were compared and correlated using appropriate statistical tools.For data analysis, the computer program Statistical Social Science Package (SPSS) (19 windows version) has been used. The p value was considered < 0.01 considered quite significant. Conclusion: Cervical and shoulder pain, which is the causative factor to increase forward head posture and significant discomfort in all the participants.
