This study has been undertaken to check the effectiveness of scapular stabilizing reversal technique on FEV1. Because of rising popularity of Media, devices such as smartphones and computers and due to COVID work from home, frequent users often exhibit incorrect posture. Forward head posture is a poor habitual neck posture, which leads to weakening of respiratory muscles affecting respiratory function. The scapular stabilizing reversal technique aim to improve the mobility and muscle strength. Experimental study was performed from Oct 22 to April 23. A purposive sampling technique was applied to select 21 participants. The CVA measurement and pectoralis minor length test was performed to assess forward head posture. Peak flow meter was used to measure FEV1. 21 participants were included in the study. Paired T test was done. The result obtained for scapular stabilizing reversal technique on IT professionals with forward head posture measured by peak flow meter suggests significance as P value obtained was (<0.00001) and T value was (15.943). This study shows that the effectiveness of scapular stabilizing reversal technique is extremely significant to increase FEV1 in forward head posture in IT professionals measured by peak flow meter.
