Midland, MI – Mulligan Concept™ Introductory Course

Introductory Course – Spinal and Peripheral Manual Therapy Treatment Techniques

This two-day course introduces the Mulligan approach to manual therapy for the spine as well as the upper & lower extremities. It includes lecture, patient demonstrations, and lab time to give the participants an initial exposure to the Mobilization with Movement approach.
