Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive 4 sessions of PNE and 5 sessions of manual therapy and exercises.

Behavioral: PNE; Procedure: Manual therapy

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive 5 sessions of manual therapy and exercises.

Procedure: Manual therapy

Interventions

PNE BEHAVIORAL

A manual therapy(Mulligan´s Mobilization with Movement) and 4 sessions of strenght exercises program was administered for both groups. In addition, a pain neuroscience education protocol was administered for the experimental group for a whole period of 4 weeks (1 session/week, 75mins per session).

Also known as: Manual therapy, Exercise

Experimental group

Manual therapy PROCEDURE

5 sessions of Mulligan´s Mobilization with Movement and 4 sessions of strenght exercises
