Strength your extensor muscles and stretch. There are plenty of videos on YouTube.
Start at the beginning as you would hopefully do with anything -- find the expert in that field, make an appointment, discuss the issue(s), make a decision, and follow-through on the recommendations! With that in mind, find a local Chiropractor who understands the foundation of posture. Chances are that you may even have to start with either your neck or low back -- get balance there and then go forward with your entire posture issue.
The specific exercises needed to correct your posture depend on the particular problems with your posture. Proper "textbook" posture creates a straight line from the ear down through the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. For most people, their posture problems come from an increase in the forward curve (kyphosis) of the thoracic spine. This creates a "hunchback" appearance. To correct this specific problem, the muscles of the upper back should be strengthened, and the chest muscles should be stretched. Poor posture can also be improved by consciously correcting your posture by pulling your shoulders back and tucking your chin. As a reminder, pick a color you see frequently and every time you see this color, correct your posture.
Therapeutic exercises and a good chiropractor is a good place to start

Hi! This is a great question. Correction is done with a combination of specifically targeted exercises, adjustments and also ergonomic modifications. If you have any other questions, please let me know! Depending on the age of the individual, the degree of forward head posture protocol depends on these types of factors.
