Interventions

PROCEDURE

Neurodynamic Group

All techniques will be executed in a pain-free way (grade III). Mild discomfort will be accepted, but it must subside as soon as the technique ends. * In the dynamic opener technique, patient will be positioned in side-lying, with the affected side upwards. The therapist will then perform grade III oscillations aiming to open the lumbar foramen; * In the side-lying slider, the patient will be in side-lying with the affected side upwards. A combination of knee and hip flexion and extension movements will produce sliding in the neural structures; * In the slump slider, the patient will be seated in slump position. Combinations between neck and knee movements will produce greater nerve excursion than the side-lying slider. Patients will perform the slump slider in a pain-free manner.
