Which posture is commonly associated with pec minor tightness?

Explanation:
Pec minor tightness pulls the shoulder blade forward and downward, causing the scapula to protract and tip anteriorly. This scapular position manifests as rounded shoulders and a forward head posture, as the upper body muscles compensate to keep the head aligned with the gaze. The other postures don’t reflect this scapular-torque pattern: elevated shoulders are more about overactivity of the upper trap/levator scapulae, scoliosis is a spinal Curve, and a posterior pelvic tilt involves the pelvis rather than the scapular mechanism driven by the pec minor.
