Active Comparator: Laser therapy Recently has been using the LED, known by its acronym in English LED (Light Emitting Diode), devices that are light-emitting non-coherent and monochromatic, having a longer wavelength (± 10 - 30 nm) compared to lasers. The difference between the fundamental radiation emitted by a laser and an LED is the coherence of the beam. | Other: Laser therapy The therapeutic effects of low intensity lasers are: (i) analgesic and anti-inflammatory, (ii) regeneration, (iii) tissue healing and (vi) recovery from muscle fatigue. |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Laser therapy | Other: Placebo Laser therapy The application of laser therapy will be a low intensity laser. |
