Ten treatment sessions will be carried out daily from Monday to Friday. Different variables will be evaluated using scientifically validated methods, such as manual diagnostic tests for lumbar mobility, algometry to measure muscle pain, cirtometry to evaluate chest mobility, validated questionnaires for quality of life and spirometry to measure respiratory parameters. These variables will be measured before and after each treatment session and later a week, a month and four months after the last intervention.
