Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

4th ventricle compression technique

For the CV4 the mediator's hands assume a specific position: one on top of the other, with the tips of the thumbs joined together in a "V" shape, positioned approximately on the process spinous between the patient's second and third cervical vertebrae, pointing downwards.

OTHER

Sham Technique

The participant is instructed to lie down in the supine position while the mediator assumes a position at the head of the table and places their hands on the participant's shoulders. This technique is performed for 5 minutes.

OTHER

Diaphragmatic breathing technique

For the diaphragmatic breathing the participant will place one hand on their chest and the other over their abdomen. Both of their hands will be overlapped by the mediator's, so it is easier to feel the correct breathing movements to be performed.
