Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
urinary pH [The sample will be taken about 1 hour after intervention/placebo]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pressure pain threshold at both quadratus lumborum muscles and T10 to L1 spinous processes measured by dynamometer (algometry)[at baseline and at short term (immediately after the intervention)];back range of motion at T12-L1 level assessed by digital inclinometry[at baseline and at short term (immediately after the intervention)];postural control and postural balance measured by a stabilometry platform[at baseline and at short term (immediately after the intervention)]
