A randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control). The objective is to assess neurophysiological activation by measuring oxygenation in the supplementary motor and premotor areas of oxygenation in the supplementary motor and premotor areas, through near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in healthy subjects spectroscopy (NIRS) in healthy subjects during the application of Vojta Therapy.

The therapy consists of the application of a stimulating pressure in the pectoral area in the pattern of the locomotion complex of reflex rolling in its first phase. For this, the subject will be placed in a supine position aligned with respect to the axial axis, with the arms along the body, the lower extremities in extension, and the head extended with a rotation of approximately 30º towards one side of the stimulation. The manual stimulation pressure will be exerted in the space between the 6th-7th or the 7th-8th rib under the mammillary line, with a force of about 2 kg.
The control group will receive an application in an area with low receptor density located on the thigh, with a force of about 2 kg.
