## Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of corrective exercises on posture, pain, and muscle activation of patients with chronic neck pain exposed to anterior-posterior perturbation. ## Methods: A total of 32 women (37.76 ± 3.83 years) with chronic, nonspecific neck pain were randomized into corrective exercise and control groups. the experimental group underwent a corrective exercise program for 8 weeks, 30 min/d, 3 days per week. the control group received active self-exercise instructions. neck pain, forward head and protracted shoulder posture, and timing of superficial neck muscle activation were evaluated using the visual analog scale, photogrammetry, and electromyogram, respectively, before and then 48 hours after the 8-week program for both the experimental and control groups. all measurements at pretest and posttest were taken by a blinded assessor. ## Results: Significant alterations were observed in cervical angle (p = .003, effect size = 0.329), shoulder angle (p = .008, effect size = 0.457), neck pain and disability (p = .009, effect size = 0.645), movement control (p = .038, effect size = 0.353), activation onset of the upper trapezius (p = .015, effec
