About

Randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, of both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (expert therapist vs. non-expert therapist). The objective will be to determine if there are differences in the muscular activation produced on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) if it is applied by an expert therapist versus if it is applied by a therapist not specialized in therapy and to know the effects produced on the muscles studied after performing the intervention.
