Interventions/Control_1

Participants will perform active lumbar extension from the prone position and push-ups on their knees, or receive manual therapy to the lumbar spine. These interventions will be administered in a randomized order. Before and after the interventions, we will measure the pressure pain thresholds, temporal summation of pain, and conditioned pain modulation in the areas around the knees and the forearms.
