“…The ProBody massage program used in this study is a rehabilitative massage program developed by Kim (2015) by applying the upright body-type exercise program , which was designed to maintain an upright posture through spinal and skeletal alignment. The massage was conducted by a professional upright-body exercise instructor with a ProBody massage certificate, and a single practitioner implemented directly the ProBody massage to all the subjects.…”

“…ProBody massage is effective for musculoskeletal alignment and activating circulatory function. According to a study by Kim (2015), in children with a grade 1 neurological disorder, ProBody massage aligned the spine and joints, and aided traction and relaxation of stiff muscles, and thereby improved large movements and joint ROM.…”

“…While studies on massage are being conducted in new directions, Park (1999) reported that massage improves maintenance of correct posture and muscle endurance, reduces pain, and helps restore body flexibility. Kim, Yang, and Lee (2015) reported that Probody massage is a highly effective rehabilitation massage to improve physiological response, large movements, and joint range of motion by inducing relaxation of rigid muscles and aligning the spine and joints of a patient with first-degree brain lesion. Additionally, Lee and Kim (2016) reported that Probody massage has a positive impact on improving body shape and balance in middle-aged women.…”

Due to the development of IT devices, the number of people using smartphones in present days is continuously increasing. The usage rate of smartphones has increased from 27% in 2011 to 78.8% in 2015 (Korea Communications Commission, 2015), and the number of patients with "turtle neck syndrome" is increasing rapidly. According to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (2015), the number of patients with cervical neck disease increased 16.6% from 2,270,000 in 2011 to 2,650,000 in 2015, among which the number of people diagnosed with turtle neck syndrome increased twofold in 4 years from 606 in 2011 to 1,134 in 2015. Based on the result of the survey on the "utilization rate of smartphone by age," people in their 20s took the first place with 96.4% (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, 2012), and the average daily usage time of smartphone by Koreans was 3 h per person. People in their 20s had the longest average daily usage time of 4 h per day (Lim, 2016).The turtle neck syndrome is a symptom in which the cervical bone is deformed into "1" or inverted letter "C" shape. Healthy cervical neck bones have the appearance of a well-curved C shape, which could be deformed if an individual's neck is bent forward for a long time (Jeon, 2016).The turtle neck posture appears to be due to physical imbalance from maintaining a wrong posture for a long period (Hwang, 2012). Habits of maintaining wrong posture can cause deformity of the spine that causes pain and difficulty in having a healthy daily life (Im, 2003). In this way, our body parts such as the shoulder, waist, pelvis, and knee center around the vertebrate to maintain left and right symmetry of the whole body. Therefore, failure to maintain proper posture can lead to physical imbalance (Oh, 2016). Physical imbalance due to poor posture such as having the pelvis twisted to one side or the body tilted to one side can break the overall balance of the whole body and cause pain (Kim,

World-class Korean archers exhibit no unnecessary motion that can interfere with athletic performance, and maintain posture through consistency of motion and body stability (Heo, 2003). To improve archery technique, optimal body balance and force distribution, and control of breathing and heart rate are required, and these factors directly affect athletic performance (Kim, 2000;Kim & Kim, 2005). Imbalance of the body causes improper distribution of forces between bow arm and draw arm during bow extending in archery, resulting in inaccurate shooting (Korea Archery Association, 2011). It has been reported that archers can improve shooting efficiency through development of trunk muscles with improvement in body stability and motion (Yoon & Jung, 2002), and higher scores in archery can be achieved when all physical, mental, and physiological parameters are in simultaneous balance (Choi, 2013). Many countries in Europe andAsia have recruited Korean archery coaches to provide systematic and scientific training, with the result that performance levels of archers throughout the world have gradually become equal. As a result, Korean archery has to recognize the training limitations of focus on physical fitness and technique, and must introduce new training methods based on the existing framework (Lee, 2011;Jang, 2006;Heo, 2003). Factors in archery such as repetitive movements and overload on the arms cause pains in the shoulder, neck, and low back. In addition, prolonged exercise in a unilateral posture can cause imbalance between the left and right muscles of the body (Yoon & Kim, 2012). Spinal imbalance often occurs in events such as archery, which impose unilateral forces on the spine. Incorrect coaching and excessive training of archers results in undesirable asymmetrical posture, so that most archers have postural imbalance (Kim, 2008).A comparison of bilateral and unilateral sports found that athletes in unilateral events had structural deformations of the spine and pelvis, with differences in spine curvature, pelvic slope, slope of bilateral trunk curvature, and trunk rotation (Lee, Choi, & Kim, 2010). Pelvic shapes of collegiate athletes were compared by event using a 3-dimensional KJSB
