Abstract
Background: Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a posture deviation consisting of an increase in angular excursion in the upper and lower aspects of the cervical spine. A popular method used by physiotherapists to reduce muscle tightness is massage. The massage used is Deep Tissue Massage (DTM) with deeper pressure and slow motion. As an effort to correct posture, physiotherapists can use the McKenzie Neck Exercise method. The standard for managing physiotherapy at the clinic provides a modality, namely Microwave Diathermy (MWD).Method: Research with experimental pre and post-test two groups design. The study was divided into 2 groups, consisting of group 1 with Microwave Diathermy and Deep Tissue Massage exercises and group 2 with Microwave Diathermy and McKenzie Neck Exercise. The number of samples in this study were 16 samples each group, so that the total sample in the two groups amounted to 32 respondents.Results: Group 1 with a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) which means an increase in perspective before and after the intervention of microwave diathermy and deep tissue massage. Group 2 obtained a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) which means an increase in the craniovertebra viewpoint which means the cervical joint before and after the intervention of microwave diathermy and McKenzie's neck training. Calculation results of mean differences Increased craniovertebra angle obtained p value = 0.001 (p <0.05) on the difference between before and after intervention. Microwave diathermy and deep tissue massage compared with microwave diathermy and McKenzie neck exercise against craniovertebral angleConclusion: Intervention of Microave Diathermy and Deep Tissue Massage better than Microave Diathermy and McKenzie Neck Cervical Exercises in correcting posture in patient with Forward Head Posture.Keywords: Forward head posture, Microwave Diathermy, Deep Tissue Massage, McKenzie Neck Exercise, posture

Summary
Seseorang bisa menghabiskan waktu yang sangat lama untuk menggunakan gadget, dan tanpa disadari ada keluhan muskuloskeletal yang mengincar akibat penggunaan gadget yang tidak ergonomis. Salah satu keluhan musculoskeletal berupa penyimpangan postur tubuh yang terjadi akibat penggunaan gadget yang tidak ergonomis adalah forward head posture.[1]. Muscle imbalance adalah sebuah sindrom yang ditandai oleh pola spesifik berupa kekakuan otot dan kelemahan otot pada sisi yang berseberangan antara ventral dan dorsal tubuh. Salah satu metode yang populer digunakan oleh fisioterapis untuk mengurangi tightness otot adalah massage. Teknik ini mampu menjangkau otot yang lebih dalam sehingga lebih baik dalam mengurangi tightness otot.[4] Sebagai upaya koreksi postur, fisioterapis dapat menggunakan metode McKenzie Neck Exercise. Berdasarkan penelitian tersebut, peneliti ingin membandingkan perbedaan pengaruh pemberian Microwav Diathermy dan Deep Tissue Massage dengan Microwave Dithermy dan Mckenzie Neck Exercise untuk koreksi postur pada penderita forward head posture
