Advanced Course – Spinal and Peripheral Manual Therapy Treatment Techniques

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 approach addresses musculoskeletal disorders with pain free manual joint “repositioning” techniques for restoration of function and abolition of pain. This two-day Advanced course will review and fine tune the participants skill level with the Mulligan approach to manual therapy for the whole body.

In addition, it will provide instruction in the use of Pain Release Phenomenon techniques and compression techniques. It will include lecture, patient demonstrations, and lab time to give the participants an opportunity for depth problem-solving and refinement of technique for this Mobilization With Movement approach. This will also prepare those interested in taking the Certified Mulligan Practitioner Exam.

  • PT’s and PTA’s will receive 13 CEU’s for those licensed in the State of North Carolina.  For those attending who reside outside of NC, please see your state governing body for reciprocity.  All forms needed to submit for CEU’s in your state can be found under the “courses” tab on the homepage.  You may also contact Markt619@icloud.com to see if the Mulligan Advanced Course already has pre-approval in your state of residency.
  • ATs will receive 13 CEUs from the NATA Board of Certification CEU Provider P3566
  • Certificate of attendance for 13 hours of instruction is always given
Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer

  • Describe two indications and 2 clinical rules for the application of Pain Release Phenomenon and Compression Techniques
  • Demonstrate 3 ankle MWM techniques for ankle ROM impairment.
  • Integrate a combined proximal / distal MWM technique in the lower leg when presented with findings of persistent ankle sprain leg pain & dysfunction.

  • List 2 indications for wrist/hand taping procedures for the proximal row of carpals and the metacarpals to reinforce an MWM technique.
  • Demonstrate 2 elbow MWM techniques for loss of motion and tennis elbow.
  • Integrate one forearm combined MWM of the proximal and distal radius/ulna when given a clinical pattern of persistent forearm pain.
  • Demonstrate 3 shoulder MWM techniques for shoulder elevation impairment.
  • Demonstrate 3 manual techniques for the alleviation of cervicogenic headaches and dizziness
  • Integrate one combined shoulder MWM and cervical SNAG when presented with a persistent cervical / shoulder musculoskeletal dysfunctional pattern.
  • Cite at least 2 RCT studies that support cervical snags for headaches and dizziness
