Spinopelvic Exercise Intervention for Chronic Neck Pain in E-Sports Players: Effects on Pain, Disability, and Spinal Posture in a Randomized Controlled Trial

A spinopelvic exercise program supports individuals with chronic neck pain by addressing the body as a connected system rather than focusing only on the neck. Persistent neck pain is commonly associated with poor posture, reduced core strength, and limited control of the pelvis and trunk, all of which increase stress on the cervical region. Spinopelvic exercises aim to improve core stability, pelvic alignment, and postural control, allowing the neck to function with better support. As muscle coordination and control improve, strain on neck muscles decreases, resulting in reduced pain. Improved trunk and pelvic stability also helps correct postural faults such as forward head posture, making it easier to maintain proper alignment during daily activities. With less pain and better posture, individuals experience improved movement and greater ease in performing everyday tasks, leading to a reduction in functional disability. Overall, this approach provides an effective and holistic strategy for managing chronic neck pain and enhancing overall function.
