All courses include considerable hands on learning experience; self-treatment concepts, taping, and sound clinical reasoning to apply mobilization with movement on patients. Participants can expect to be provided with research information and evidence based practice in the applying these manual therapy techniques developed by Brian Mulligan.

Curriculum format for the MULLIGAN™ Concept differs slightly from region to region. The full course consists on six days of face to face lectures. Specific course descriptions are available from each country offering MULLIGAN™ Concept courses.

This two-day survey course introduces the MULLIGAN™ approach to manual therapy for the whole body. It includes lecture, patient demonstrations, and lab time to give the participants an initial exposure to the Mobilization with Movement approach. 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.
