Summary

The objective of the study is to measure the effect of a spinal mobilisation intervention on para-spinal muscle tissue quality, functional balance measures, pain and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. The mobilisation intervention group will be compared to a general massage group to analyse the difference between the specificities of the intervention compared to general manual touch. Participants will be randomly allocated to a group condition for a between-subject, repeated measures study. The study hypothesises a decrease in lumbar stiffness, body sway, pain and fatigue post the intervention compared to the general massage group.
