Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Pressure Pain Threshold
Time Frame: Change in PPT is applied between minutes 1 and 4
A pressure algometer will be applied between the first and second toe until the pressure sensation first becomes painful. Pressure pain threshold is applied between each one minute interval of the intervention.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
