Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
- To quantitatively assess the effect of global pelvic manipulation (GPM) on lumbo-pelvic self-perceived pain using VAS scores.[Before and After the intervention procedure]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
- To explore differences in Pressure pain threshold (PPT) in sacroiliac joints (SIJ) with an algometer (FXP 25, Wagner Instruments), predicting an improvent in mechanosensibility in at least a 10%[Before and After the intervention procedure];- To assess body's endogenous response to pain following a catecholamine and serotonin release. A blood test will be done to measure the catecholamine / serotonin levels with an expected variability of 15%[Before and After the intervention procedure]
