It was significantly reduced in the exercise group within the group, and there was a significant difference in the comparison of the amount of change between the groups. The CVA showed an interaction effect between the times and the groups and significantly increased in the exercise group. Also, there was a significant difference between groups after 12 weeks and comparison of the amount of change between the groups. The NDI showed an interaction effect between the times and the groups, and the main effect between the times was shown. It was significantly decreased in the exercise group and significant differences were also found in between groups after 12 weeks and comparison of the amount of change between the groups. From the above results, it was found that 12 weeks of posture correction exercise had a positive effect on posture correction and pain relief in female office workers with chronic neck pain in their 30s and 40s women.
