Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participants allocated to the control group will be set up as though CSM were to be delivered (as indicated by motion palpation), however no thrust will be applied. The joint will be taken to the point from which the HVLA thrust would be applied (end range of motion), held for a period of 5 seconds and then returned to neutral position. Due to the possibility of participants being familiar with spinal manipulation\- this con\-trol intervention is not expected to act as a form of placebo but rather to control for any potential physiological effects of the set up and tactile contact that occurs with CSM.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants will be excluded if they have previously received cervical spine manipulation in order to ensure participants are naïve to spinal manipulation.
  • Any patients presenting with contraindications to Spinal Manipulation will be excluded.
  • Any patients with neck pain of traumatic origin or whiplash associated disorders will be ex\-cluded as research has shown this group not to have impaired laterality judgment (Ravat 2017 \& Breckeridge et al 2019\).
