Intervention type: OTHER
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Suboccipital inhibition
Description: The therapist will place his hands under the patient's head, making contact with the suboccipital muscles in the region of the posterior arch of the atlas, applying progressive and deep pressure. This pressure will be maintained for 10 minutes

Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Ischemic pressure
Description: Pressures will be made on the temporal, superior trapezius, masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Physical therapist will apply gradual sustained finger pressure to the muscle's active trigger points for 5-15 seconds. The therapist will begin with light firm pressure and gradually increase the pressure until the patient feels a moderate but bearable level of pain (corresponding to a level 7 on a pain scale of 1 to 10 levels where 1 indicates no pain and 10 is excruciating pain). Pressure will remain at this level until pain levels decrease to level 3. The therapist will repeat this procedure approximately 3-4 times over a 90 second period.

Intervention: Passive stretching
Description: Passive stretches will be applied to each muscle 2 times for 30 seconds, they will be performed slowly at the rate of the patient's normal breathing and checking that no compensations appear.

Intervention: Diaphragmatic breathing exercice
Description: To perform diaphragmatic breaths, there will first be an education on how to do them. The patient will lie supine, with the hips and knees semi-flexed. The therapist will ask you to place one hand on your chest and one on your abdomen. Successively, it will ask you to take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose for 2 seconds and exhaling through your mouth, with your lips pursed (almost closed) for 4 seconds, helping you to maintain the rhythm of your breath by counting out loud. The patient should note that during inspiration his hand on top of the chest does not rise (the chest remains still) and during expiration that his hand on top of the abdomen goes down (the abdomen sinks).
