To evaluate the relationship berween anterior head position and myofascial pain syndrome at posterior cervical muscles. Thirty five subjects were participated in this study. All subjects were official workers and did not have history of cervical trauma. Anterior head position is evaluted by Travel’s method. Questionare was used for nature and intensity at posterior cervical area. We did physical examination for the evaluation of myofacial pain syndrome at suboccipitalis, posterior cervical muscle and upper trapezius. The subjects with myofascial pain syndrome at suboccipitalis were nine and data by Travel’s method is 3.62cm and the subjects without myofascial pain syndrome at suboccipitalis were twenty six and data by Travel’s method was 3.23cm(no statistically significant difference). The subjects with myofascial pain syndrome at posterior cervical muscle were nine and data by Travel’s method is 3.51cm and the subjects without myofascial pain syndrome at posterior cervical muscle were twenty six and data by Travel’s method was 3.23cm(no statistically significant difference). There were no significant differences berween anterior head positioning and myofascial pain syndrome at posterior neck muscles. Normal distance(6cm) proposed by Travel is not suitable in Korean.
