Twenty-four individuals with non-specific low back pain will be randomly allocated to two groups. The intervention group will receive high velocity and low amplitude spinal therapy, while the control group will receive sham manipulation. Immediately before and after the respective manipulation protocol, both groups will be evaluated regarding pain level, using a visual-analogue scale and algometer, and postural variables, using center of pressure displacement measured with the aid of a force plate. While the patient and therapist manipulator will be aware of the protocol applied in each case, the evaluator will be blind. A statistical treatment will be used to compare the results.
