Brief summary

This study aims to determine the efficiency of the suboctipital musculature inhibition technique in the median nerve neurodynamic test in patients with whiplash.

Interventions

we make a suboccipital musculature inhibition technique trying to relax the myodural brigde, and so measure the impact of this technique on the dural tissue and show it using the median neurodynamic test by measuring the range of elbow. The suboccipital musculature inhibition technique is performed for a total of 3 minutes, estimated time as sufficient so that there is a relaxation of the muscles. This technique only is perform once in each patient
