Athletic osteitis pubis is a pathologic entity that can cause functional impairment. Scientific evidence have noticed that athletes experiment pain and a decrease on strength. Moreover, this symptomathology can affect daily life and functionality. There is no scientific evidence about the influence of manual therapy (MT) as a single treatment to improve this condition. The investigators decided to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of a MT technique with placebo technique.

Functional capacity
Evaluated with a patient reported outcome questionnaire called Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome score (HAGOS) which assesses pain, symptoms, physical function in daily living, physical function in sport and recreation, participation in physical activities and hip and groin -related quality of life. For each item answer range from "never" to "always".
