Nonspecific low back pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that presents itself in the patient with characteristics: low back pain with more or equal to one month of evolution without a specific diagnosis, appearance of myofascial trigger points, pain located between the lower area of the ribs to the lower area of the buttocks, pain due to trauma, fractures, and no indication for surgical treatment, these factors cause frequent medical consultations, its effects on society are significant, both epidemiologically and economically important. The frequency of occurrence leads to a decrease in sports practice, functional limitation in daily activities, and absenteeism from work. Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of manual therapy on nonspecific low back pain in people who perform gym training, assistants at ATF - Fitness Center, Ambato. Materials and methods: tests used before and after: Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Slump Test (ST), Standing Ischiotibial Extension Test (SIET) and Myofascial Trigger Point Localization. The intervention protocol was applied in 22 patients (F=13, M=9) for eight individual sessions using Manual Therapy(TM) techniques: Desensitization by Superficial and Deep Transverse Massage (MTS and MTP), Myofascial Release (LM) for PGM by progressive pressure of the PGM, Spinal Manipulation (SM), McKenzie Method and Thermotherapy by hot pack. Results: The application of the intervention protocol using manual therapy techniques was significantly effective on xv non-specific low back pain.

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of a physiotherapeutic intervention program on shoulder internal rotation deficiency in GIRD athletes, which was carried out at the Tungurahua Sports Federation. Fifty athletes from different disciplines who presented shoulder internal rotation deficiency were evaluated using the goniometric test to measure ROM, CKCUEST and SMBT to evaluate stability and power of the upper limbs. The results of the Student's t-test for the ROM of the internal rotation of the right and left shoulder before and after the intervention show that for both the ROM of the right arm (0.000) and the ROM of the left arm (0.000), there are significant differences between the measurements, since the p-value obtained is less than alpha (0.05). This implies that the null hypothesis is rejected, i.e. the application of sleeper stretch and cross-body stretch were effective in the goniometric test for internal rotation GIRD.
