HVLA C3/C4 manipulation

The investigator will apply an anterior and lateral translation associated with extension, homolateral inclination and contralateral rotation of the cervical. This procedure will increase the tension of the soft tissues to reduce the remaining slack and, finally, the thrust will be applied in pure rotation. Subsequently the head of the volunteer will be repositioned in the neutral position without applying any pressure and will wait 10 seconds in this position. Finally, the previous procedure will be repeated to the opposite side.

Sham technique

The investigator will apply an anterior and lateral translation associated with extension, homolateral inclination and contralateral rotation of the cervical until the perception of tissue tension at the point of contact, holding this position for 10 seconds. The investigator then repositions the head of the volunteer in the neutral position without applying pressure, holding again this position for 10 seconds. Finally, the previous procedure will be repeated for the opposite side.
