This two-day course will present the Mulligan approach to manual therapy for the Cervical and Thoracic spine as well as for the upper extremity. It will include lecture, patient demonstrations, and extensive lab time to give the participants a thorough and in depth coverage of the Mobilization With Movement™ approach for the upper quarter. This unique approach to manual therapy was discovered and developed by Brian Mulligan F.N.Z.S.P. (Hon), Dip. M.T. from Wellington, New Zealand. This simple yet effective manual therapy approach addresses the patient directly based on their functional impairments by combining aspects of pain neuroscience education, therapeutic alliance, and current research utilizing symptom free techniques for restoration of function and abolition of pain.
