Brief Summary

In the present study, 28 healthy young people will be selected, who will be evaluated by a blind investigator regarding the study objectives, and will be randomly included in two groups. The experimental group will consist of 14 subjects who will carry out 1 weekly session of 10 minutes and who will be evaluated just before starting the intervention, after it and at 4 weeks. The control group will be made up of 14 subjects who will be evaluated in the three periods described without the need to carry out the intervention.

Conditions

Healthy; Diaphragm Issues

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Centimetric measurement of the thorax

  measuring the difference in circumference after maximum inhalation through the nose and maximum exhalation through the mouth, the measurement is made at the level of the xiphoid process

  change from baseline to one month

• Back range of motion

  Performing the Ott Test, which consists of performing, with the subject standing, two measurements, one in the lower part of the spinous process of C7 and the other 30 centimeters below the previous mark.

  change from baseline to one month

• Inspiratory and expiratory capacity

  will be carried out using an incentive spirometer

  change from baseline to one month

Study Arms (2)

Interventional group

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention consists of the application of a myofascial technique in the diaphragmatic region, one hand of the therapist will be placed on the hemidiaphragm to be treated and the other hand on the same side but on the dorsal part of the patient on the costal edge of the last ribs.

Other: manipulation

Control group

SHAM COMPARATOR

In the subjects of the control group, the hands will be placed in the same position but without any therapeutic intention, applying the minimum possible pressure.

Other: manipulation
