| Improvement in symptoms reported by the Scale of Intestinal Symptoms - ESI. 174/5000 This evaluation will be applied before the intervention, immediately after the first session of intestinal manipulation and one week after the fifth session of intestinal manipulation. This instrument measures the report of the intensity of the intestinal symptoms, containing 10 questions, scored from 0 to 4. Question 1 refers to the frequency of evacuation, and questions 2 to 10 are related to intestinal symptoms. The final score of the questionnaire corresponds to the mean of the scores obtained in each question, and reports on a scale from 0 (nonexistent) to 4 (total), the intensity of intestinal symptoms;Improvement of intestinal functionality by the Inventory of Intestinal Functionality - IFI. This evaluation will be applied before the intervention, immediately after the first session of intestinal manipulation and one week after the fifth session of intestinal manipulation. The instrument evaluates intestinal motility with 57 questions related to the presence of nonspecific intestinal symptoms associated with daily events, interpersonal relationships and stress situations. The score for each question is given according to the frequency of the symptoms (0 - never, 1 - few times, 2 - half of the time, 3 - often 4 - always) and its consequences, such as escape from a certain situation or non - of a given task. | — |

| Improvement in static equilibrium through baropodometry. This evaluation will be applied before the intervention, immediately after the first session of intestinal manipulation and one week after the fifth session of intestinal manipulation. Computerized baropodometry is a simple system that measures the distribution of plantar pressures during the orthostatic position. The Fusyo model (Medcapteurs France S.A.S, France), which has 2000 sensors and a frequency of 40Hz, will be used. This equipment records quantitative data on the pressures at different anatomical points of plantar surface and the anteroposterior and lateral-lateral deviation. For the examination the individual should climb on a pressure platform, barefoot, in an orthostatic position, with the arms along the body, keeping a fixed stare horizontally, with lips closed and jaw relaxed as well as the rest of the body. The duration of the registration will be approximately 20 seconds. The values will be recorded by the program supplied by the manufacturer itself, installed in a microcomputer.;Decreased perception of pain on the spinal processes of the thoracic and lumbar spine through algometry. This evaluation will be applied before the intervention, immediately after the first session of intestinal manipulation and one week after the fifth session of intestinal manipulation. Algometry is a technique that uses quantification through physical stimuli (pressure on the nociceptors) the capacity for painful perception and tolerances. In this study, a digital pressure algometer (model D-200, Instrutherm®) consisting of a rod (probe) with a circular head coated with rubber (area 1cm2) and a display that informs the pressure exerted in Kgf (kilogram force) . Thus, once the tip surface is 1cm2, the readings will be expressed in kg / cm2. The range of the algometer is 0-10 kg with 0.1 kg divisions. The site of measurement of pain through the algometro will be in the spinous processes of the vertebrae of the | — |
