简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Transverse Friction Massage (TFM) in Latent Myofascial Trigger points (MTrP) is more effective making this technique in two different ways.
详细描述
The investigators divide in two groups. The investigators apply the TFM in similar way in both, but the investigators cause local twitch response (isolated contraction of muscle fibers containing the latent trigger points)just in one group. So the investigators want to know whether the effectiveness of this technique is due to those local twitch responses, comparing both groups. The investigators asses Strength, range of motion, and overall, pressure pain thresholds to evaluate the pain sensitivity progress.

研究组 & 干预措施
isolated contractions caused
The investigators do TFM causing isolated contractions in de muscle fibers containing de latent trigger point.
干预措施: Transverse friction massage (TFM) (Procedure)
No isolated contraction caused
The investigators don´t cause contraction during the TFM
干预措施: Transverse friction massage (TFM) (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline in Pressure pain Threshold (PPT)during treatment.
时间窗: Pre and post treatment every session and 1 week after last session
The PPT is defined as the minimal amount of pressure where a sense of pressure first changes to discomfort or pain in a certain point
