Intervention(s)
Group 1: Global Manipulation of the pelvis bilaterally: opening the faces of L5 and sacroiliac joint. Patient in lateral decubitus, in lumbar roll possition. Rotation technique with contact in sacroiliac joint. 1 minute for each manipulation, total time for treatment 2 minutes. Patient will be lying in supine decubitus in the stretcher for 3 minutes. Total time included the time for the treatment are 5 minutes. Duration and frequency of treatment: treatment performed on one occasion only for 5 minutes (total time for treatment is 2 minutes, and lying time is 3 minutes)

Group 2: Suboccipital muscle inhibition. Patient lying face up (supine decubitus). therapist sitting with the distal part of the fingers in the suboccipital area, producing a slight ventral and craneal compression. The patient will be 5 minutes in supine decubitus while the treatment will be realized. Frequency and duration: treatment performed on one occasion only for 5 minutes ( total time for treatment and lying time is 5 minutes). In this case the treatment has a duration of 5 minutes, and at the same time, the patient is lying face up.

group 3 : Hands Mobilisation. Patient in supine decubitus, therapist sitting by his side. Articulatiry technique for both hands ( two minutes each one). The patient will be 5 minutes in supine decubitus while the therapist realiza the treatment. Frequency and duration: treatment performed on one occasion only for 5 minutes ( 4 minutes lying and treatment and 1 minute just lying face up)

Stabilometric and baropodometric measurements pre and post intervention.

All the treatment will be administered in a private traumatology clinic, in a room adapted to the physiotherapeutic care of patients, with a stretcher to perform the treatment and a timer to mark the intervention times. The data collection will be performed in a separate room suitable for it.

The treatments will be performed by an osteopath with more than 5 years of clinical experience in the field of pediatric osteopathy.
