INTERVENTION: Others(Diaphragmatic Breathing, Shoulder Stabilization Exercises) : The intervention includes one diaphragm breathing exercise and four shoulder stabilization exercises. The experimental group performs both diaphragm breathing exercise and shoulder stabilization exercise, and the control group performs only shoulder stabilization exercise. The diaphragm breathing exercise consists of 10 sets, each lasting for 1 minute, with a 30‐second break time between each set. The first shoulder stabilization exercise is a muscle strengthening exercise for the rotator cuff muscle. The exercise is performed in a seated position using a loop band on both hands positioned shoulder‐width apart. Each set consists of 10 repetitions, and a total of 5 sets are completed, with a 30‐second break time between each set. The second shoulder stabilization exercise is a muscle strengthening exercise for the SA muscle. Participants place both wrists in a loop band to keep the forearms in a neutral position, and each set consists of 10 repetitions. A total of 5 sets are completed, with a 30‐second break time between each set. The third shoulder stabilization exercise is a muscle strengthening exercise for the LT muscle. Participants raise their arms in a Y‐shape, engage in an isometric contraction of the LT muscle, hold the contraction for 10 seconds, take a 10‐second break, and complete 5 sets. The fourth shoulder stabilization exercise involves performing plank exercises to activate muscles around the shoulder and core muscles. Participants perform 5 sets of plank exercises, with each set lasting for 20 seconds, and a 30‐second break time between each set. CONDITION: Not Applicable PRIMARY OUTCOME: Both upper trapezius's pain pressure thresholds, craniovertebral angle, neck disability index SECONDARY OUTCOME: both acromion's tilt degrees, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test INCLUSION CRITERIA: no history of outpatient or hospitalization treatment, no musculoskeletal or neurological diseases, no back pain during diaphragmatic breathing re‐education and training, no shoulder pain during shoulder stabilization exercises, and an craniovertebral angle of less than 52 degrees.
