Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to analyze the changes in plantar support after the technique of deep dry puncture in the posterior tibial. The data will be analyzed by a baropodometer which will record the possible changes in the footprint. The investigator will perform a pre-intervention measurement and 3 post-intervention measurements (immediately after the intervention, at 24 hours and at 72 hours)
