Methods: Literary Studies, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, J- Stage, and Portal Garuda, Sample with CVA <49◦, McKenzie Neck Exercise, Clinical Trial Research, 2016 – 2021 publication, outcome in the form posture and a free access literary. Results: There’s a McKenzie Neck Exercise intervention that have the most impact on the alteration of FHP degrees that have been measured with CVA. Conclusion: In total of five literaries, all of them had an impact on the alteration of FHP degrees, but only one out of  five literaries  had the most impact on FHP. Suggestion: Hopefully people and therapists could make the variants of McKenzie Neck Exercise as an exercise in increasing CVA degrees to the FHP.
