the positional release techniques will be performed while maintaining this position for 90 seconds procedure is repeated 3 times. Then, the therapist performs the ischemic compression technique on the myofascial trigger point, the compression is maintained for 90 seconds by 3 replications.
Through an electrotherapy device were applied diadynamic in that myofascial trigger point previously marked. 4 minutes from the fixed two-phase mode will be applied (DF), 4 minutes long periods (LP) and 4 minute short periods (CP), the first and second intensely in the sensitive line and the third motor threshold, both supportable according to each patient.
