description Aim: To know if there is any effect of cervical stabilization exercises on FHP, PEFR and chest expansion in smartphone users. Background: The number of smartphone users are increasing worldwide. Prolonged use can lead to a number of health problems, including forward head posture [FHP]. FHP can also have a negative impact on respiratory function. Because of this FHP can compress the chest cavity and restrict lung expansion. As a result, people with FHP may have difficulty breathing deeply and may experience decreased peak expiratory flow rate [PEFR]. Setting & Design: An experimental study was conducted on smartphone users (>1 year) of Ahmedabad. Includes individuals of Forward head [Tragus to wall distance (TWD):>10 cm], mean age: 22.46±2.66, both genders. Methodology: In this study 30 subjects were divided into 2 groups. An experimental group did cervical stabilization exercises, Thoracic expansion exercise and pectorals stretching. Control group did cervical isometric exercises. Both groups Performed exercises twice a day for two weeks. Pre and post outcome measures was taken: TWD, PEFR, Chest expansion. Result: The result analyzed by paired T-test. The intervention group showed significant improvements in TWD (11.01±0.34 to 10.05±0.35cm; p
