How the Mulligan Concept Works
The Mulligan Concept uses specific joint mobilizations combined with active movement to restore normal joint mechanics.
Our treatment includes:
• Mobilization with Movement (MWM): Gentle joint mobilization performed while the patient actively moves.
• Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS): Sustained gliding techniques to restore spinal joint motion.
• Pain-Free Approach: Techniques are always performed without pain, making them suitable for acute conditions.
• Self-Treatment: Teaching home exercises using belts and straps to maintain results.
The goal is to achieve immediate, pain-free improvement in movement.
