MULLIGAN’S MOBILIZATIONWITHMOVEMENT

Mobilization with movement is a manual therapy approach utilized by health care practitioners specializing in the care of patient with musculoskeletal pain. Physical therapists, with training in Mulligan can be a huge help to individuals in pain. The Mulligan Concept can assist individuals in improving movement restrictions, pain with movement, and functional restrictions. Mulligan practitioners seek to improve patient’s movement with the application of pain free hands on techniques. Both the clinician and the patient can quickly assess the value of this approach. If the techniques are indicated an immediate improvement in pain and movement will be observed. The Mulligan Concept is not a passive treatment approach and many individuals benefit from self-treatment at home after appropriate evaluation and instruction by a skilled and trained manual therapist. There are many indications or ailments that may benefit from the Mulligan Approach, including, but not limited to: • Pain of a non-inflammatory nature • Acute pain from injury • Loss of motion due to arthritic conditions • Post surgical conditions causing loss of pain free movement, e.g. post

scope conditions, spinal surgery • Headaches due to neck problems
