To ensure unbiased allocation, the random codes generated by the software will serve as the basis for assigning each participant to one of the three groups, ensuring a systematic and randomized distribution of participants across the study group. N/A Upper Crossed Syndrome (Cervicalgia). Intervention 1: Intervention Group 1: (Shoulder Stabilization Exercises) consists of corrective stabilization exercises for the shoulder girdle and scapular muscles, performed for 8 weeks, three sessions per week, with each session lasting 30 to 45 minutes. The exercise content includes active exercises to strengthen scapular muscles (such as the serratus anterior and lower trapezius), balance and postural control exercises in sitting, standing, and quadruped positions, and functional exercises using resistance bands or body weight. Intervention 2: Intervention Group 2: (Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises) consists of diaphragmatic breathing retraining, performed for 8 weeks, three sessions per week, with each session lasting 30 to 45 minutes. The exercise content includes training in deep diaphragmatic breathing in supine, sitting, and standing positions, breathing rhythm exercises, inhalation and exhalation control, and breathing exercises combined with upper limb movements. Intervention 3: Control group: Will not receive any exercise intervention.
