Description

At Mobilization With Movement™ USA, we go in-depth with our Mulligan Concept™ Manual Therapy Lower Quadrant Course. This two-day course introduces you to the Mulligan Concept™ (or Mobilization With Movement™) approach to manual therapy for the lower portions of the body. We thoroughly cover Mobilization With Movement™ of the lumbar spine, the sacroiliac joint, and the lower extremities as well. This course includes a comprehensive lecture that encompasses numerous Mulligan Concept™ techniques, patient demonstrations, and comparable lab time to provide participants an extensive overview of the Mobilization With Movement® approach to the lower portion of the body. This custom approach to manual therapy was founded and established by Brian Mulligan. The Mulligan technique is a simple and practical method of addressing musculoskeletal disorders with painless manual therapy forces that can restore pain-free, functional movement.

Lunch will be provided both days.

*Courses will be closed if maximum capacity has been reached or may be rescheduled/cancelled due to low registration.*
