Description

This two-day seminar presents Brian Mulligan's concepts of Mobilization with Movement as it applies to the cervical and upper thoracic spine and upper extremities. The course is designed for health care professionals licensed to perform joint mobilizations who wish to broaden their existing manual therapy skills for use within their defined scope of practice. It clearly outlines the indications for this new and simple approach to the application of manual therapy in clinical practice. Past Mulligan course feedback has indicated the need for a more detailed presentation of techniques along with the development of clinical reasoning skills. This seminar is designed to meet those needs. ** Register by the early bird date and save $25.00.
