Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a prevalent postural deviation associated with a range of musculoskeletal and functional issues, including dysphagia or swallowing difficulties. This abstract presents the rationale and key components of an interdisciplinary approach to swallowing rehabilitation in individuals exhibiting FHP. The comprehensive strategy integrates the expertise of various healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and orthopaedic specialists, to address both the structural and functional aspects of FHP-related dysphagia. By focusing on postural correction, targeted exercises, and customized swallowing interventions, this multidisciplinary approach aims to enhance swallowing function and overall quality of life for affected individuals. The integration of different therapeutic modalities and the collaborative effort of healthcare providers hold the potential to yield more effective and sustainable outcomes in the management of dysphagia associated with FHP.
