Mobilization with movement is a manual therapy approach utilized by health care practitioners specializing in the care of patient with musculoskeletal pain. Physiotherapists, physical therapists, and other clinicians trained in the Mulligan Concept can assist individuals in improving movement restrictions, pain with movement, and functional restrictions. Mulligan practitioners seek to improve patients movement with the application of pain free hands on techniques. Both the clinician and the patient can quickly assess the value of this approach. If the technique(s) are indicated an immediate improvement in pain and movement will be observed. The Mulligan Concept is not a passive treatment approach and many individuals benefit from self-treatment at home.
Common Indications for this approach:
Pain of a non-inflammatory nature
Acute pain from injury
Loss of motion due to arthritic conditions Post surgical conditions causing loss of pain free movement, e.g. post scope conditions, spinal surgery
Headaches due to neck problems Dizziness associated with neck problems
Jaw or TMJ pain and movement restrictions
Acute to chronic ankle sprains
Tennis elbow or lateral elbow pain
