Summary

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the immediate effects of neuro-lymphatic treatment, thoracic vertebral and costal articulatory in terms of back pain levels, cervical and dorsal flexibility, sense of body comfort and satisfaction with the treatment received.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Neuro-lymphatic treatment

The physical therapist applied direct firm rotary pressure, via thumb or tip finger, for 1 minute, from the transverse processes of T1 to the transverse processes of T12. To finish the intervention, hands were placed on the skull and sacrum during 2 minutes without movement.

OTHER

Articulatory spinal manual therapy

Then the therapist performs pressures in the transverse apophysis from D1 to D12 (level of the paravertebral muscles, at a distance of 2 fingers of the spinous apophysis), applying sustained pressure during expiratory time until the articulatory barrier is reached.

OTHER

Articulatory costal Manual therapy

The therapist performs costal-vertebral articulatory movement, from 1st to 12th rib (level of the outside paravertebral muscles, at a distance of 4 fingers from the spinous apophysis on the back of the costal body) applying a sustained pressure during expiratory time and promoting its biomechanics, up to the articulatory barrier.
