Overview
Brief Summary
In the present study the investigators want to verify if the inhibition of the suboccipital muscles improves the postural balance in subjects with cervical pain objectified by stabilometry.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Surface of the ellipse open eyes
Time Frame: Postintervention immediate
Determines the surface of the ellipse formed from the oscillations in the X and Y coordinates with open eyes. The measurement is made using a stabilometric platform with 4 pressure sensors per square centimeter. The software of the stabilometric platform collects 40 measurements per second through its pressure sensors, calculating the position of the projection of the center of gravity on the ground 40 times every second. The described variable evaluates the surface of the ellipse that contains the successive points of the displacement of the projection of the center of gravity in the ground during the standarized time for the stabilometric recording (51.2 seconds). It is a unique value, measured in a single moment. If the ellipse formed is larger, it implies a greater amplitude of the displacement of the center of gravity, and therefore a lower equilibrium capacity. Interval: 0-1000 (mm2).
Surface of the ellipse closed eyes
Time Frame: Postintervention immediate

Secondary Outcomes
- Mean of the oscillation on the X axis and on the Y axis.(Preintervention and Postintervention immediate.)
- Speed of the oscillation on the X axis and on the Y axis(Preintervention and Postintervention immediate.)
- Average speed of the oscillation(Preintervention and Postintervention immediate.)
- Length of oscillation(Preintervention and Postintervention immediate.)
