This is a newer manual therapy technique that is named after Brian Mulligan, a physical therapist from New Zealand, who came up with a term Movement with mobilization for the first time, that is part of the core concept in Mulligan Manual Therapy. Since then, the Mulligan concept is among the popular manual therapy technique due to its instant and long-lasting effect on joint restriction.
All the techniques in Mulligans Manual Therapy are performed in a pain-free range but significant improvement with joint mobility is expected after a certain number of repetitions. Like any other techniques, Mulligan technique requires a thorough evaluation/assessment by a physical therapist to consider any possible factors that require additional precaution while application of the Mulligan technique.
