Spinal manipulation
Spinal mobilization
Twenty-six participants with chronic nonspecific back pain will participate in two experimental sessions. During the first session, each participant will received either a spinal manipulation of a spinal mobilization of their thoracic spine preceded and followed by the assessment of their thoracic spine stiffness. The second session (24 to 48h after) will be identical but with the other experimental condition (spinal manipulation or spinal mobilization).
