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 14 CEU’s for those licensed in the State of FL. For those attending who reside outside of FL, 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.
- 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
By the end of the course the participant will be able to accurately:
- 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.
- Demonstrate 2 knee MWM techniques for ROM impairment.
- Integrate 1 advanced MWM combination for medial compartment of the knee when given a presentation of persistent knee joint dysfunction.
