Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Transversus abdominis thickness change
Measurement of change in thickness from resting to contraction will be compared at baseline (pre-intervention) to immediately following the intervention (post-intervention). The study is looking at the immediate effects so there is no short-term or longer term follow up.
Baseline to immediately after the intervention (within 5 minutes)
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Baseline to immediately after the intervention (within 5 minutes)
Study Arms (2)
Lumbar manipulation
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive thrust joint manipulation to their lumbar spine in side lying
Sham manipulation
SHAM COMPARATORPatients will receive oscillations into slight rotation, without cavitation, in side lying
