Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Manipulation group
This Technique will be applied over four sessions, during two weeks
Mobilization
The mobilization is a passive oscillatory technique, applied over cervical region in the hypomobile cervical level, the patient will be in prone and the therapist standing at the head of the patients with his thumbs in opposition placed at the level of the facet of the hypomobile cervical vertebra. A posteroanterior(PA) oscillatory pressure is applied, through the thumbs, over the process of the hypomobile vertebra. This oscillatory mobilization, is performed at a frequency of 2Hz (with metronome control/steps) for 2 minutes and repeated 3 times. The rest time between each mobilization was 1 minute.
Mobilization with movement
This is a manual therapy technique that consist of applied a sustain pressure over cervical hypomobile symptomatic level and request to patient a pain free movement.
For performs it, the therapist placed his thumbs on the articular process of that level. The patient sitting. Then, the subject had to perform actively the painful motion while the therapist guides the movement of that vertebra and resists it while returning to neutral. The strength applied was parallel to the plane of the joint, and the procedure was performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
Mobilisation
This treatment will be applied on cervical spine during four sessions, over two weeks
Manipulation
The Cervical Spine Manipulation is a manual therapy technique directed at the hypomobile and painful vertebral level. The subject was supine with the cervical spine in a neutral position. The index finger of the therapist applies contact over the posterolateral aspect of the zygapophyseal joint of the hypomobile vertebra. The therapist performs the technique taking account the most limited movement; lateral or rotational. A maximum of 2 attempts will performed on each subject regardless audible cavitation.

Manipulation
The Cervical Spine Manipulation is a manual therapy technique directed at the hypomobile and painful vertebral level. The subject was supine with the cervical spine in a neutral position. The index finger of the therapist applies contact over the posterolateral aspect of the zygapophyseal joint of the hypomobile vertebra. The therapist performs the technique taking account the most limited movement; lateral or rotational. A maximum of 2 attempts will performed on each subject regardless audible cavitation.
