Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To determine the time effect of the pressure release technique application in the latent MTrPs of the levator scapulae muscle.
Design: A three-arm (1:1:1 ratio), double-blinded, parallel, randomized clinical trial.
The manual technique than us apply, be sustained digital pressure with thumbs or with the 2nd-3rd fingers on the PGM below the pain threshold and gradually increases up to a ceiling of tissue resistance (barrier), as decreases, adds more pressure. different times of sustained pressure and the number of repetitions depending on time 30 (group 1, acts as a control), 60 (group 2) and 90 seconds (group 3) shall apply.
