Associations between heart rate variability and biomechan-ical tissue characteristics: A series of case reports

Not Applicable

Recruiting

Conditions: Since the intention is to conduct a case series with people in a variety of different life situa-tions (e.g. healthy, athletic, inactive participants, patients with affective disorders, pain pa-tients), no strict eligibility criteria are specified for a single person and case study. Exclusion criteria for interventions are generally valid contraindications to manual therapeutic and osteopathic treatments.
