Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
There is a nascent body of work of the mechanical properties of joint mobilizations. Treatment dose is characterized by the direction of force applied, magnitude of force applied, frequency of oscillation, amplitude of displacement, repetition and time. Although the choice of better treatment dose is based on patient complaints and clinical reasoning, the comprehension of the effects of different parameters of joint mobilization will improve the decision making process. The optimal dose of treatment, however, is not already known.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether different rates of thoracic mobilization are capable to produces hypoalgesic effects, and secondarily investigate if such effects are local or widespread.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
2Hz mobilisation
A bilateral postero-anterior mobilisation applied to the fourth thoracic vertebra, at a 2Hz frequency.
2Hz mobilisation
This intervention will be applied for 3 sets of 1 minute, with 1 minute rest period in between each set.
0,5Hz mobilisation
A bilateral postero-anterior mobilisation applied to the fourth thoracic vertebra, at a 0,5Hz frequency.
0,5Hz mobilisation
This intervention will be applied for 3 sets of 1 minute, with 1 minute rest period in between each set.
Placebo
A simulation technique, that mimic the other groups, in this case only manual contact will be applied, without any oscillation.
Placebo
