Background: Forward head posture is being seen as one of the most common postural problems in the general population. Despite much research on this sensitive variable, there is no clear-cut correlation regarding these. Moreover, with the increased usage of computers mainly in the area of banking where a person sits in a computer for several hours raises several health issues, resulting in FHP, Neck pain, and various other problems. The main objective of this observational study is to assess the correlation among forward head posture, and functional status associated with neck pain in bankers working in Arunachal Pradesh. The study is based on an observational based design, (n=100) was taken randomly. Method: Banking professional workers (n=100) participated in this study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collection was done via tragus-to-wall test for the measurement of FHP, NPRS for pain measurement, and NDI for Functional Disability. Results: This observational study states that there is a significant negative correlation of FHP, Neck pain associated with Functional status. This may be said that there are other factors that may have a direct response of correlation with these variables. Conclusion: The study signifies that the variables FHP, and Functional status related to neck pain in banking professionals almost had no direct effect on relation to one another. The decisive reason for their poor health issues may be due to including the absence of ergonomic training, working hours, and no physical workout.
