DESCRIPTION:
Mobilisation with Movement (MWM) is fast becoming one of the most popular manual therapy approaches for the management of musculoskeletal disorders.
When Brian Mulligan first introduced the technique in 1984 in New Zealand, there was very little evidence to support its effectiveness. However, there is now an emergent evidence base underpinning the efficacy of Mobilisation with Movement including randomised controlled trials.
Mobilisation with Movement: The art and the science collates and presents the evidence underpinning the techniques developed over the past 26 years into one succinct body of work. Basic techniques are described along with more complex clinical applications.
A series of clinical case studies brings the practical art of Mobilisation with Movement to life and highlights the underlying clinical reasoning and applied evidence base.
* introduces the concept of Mobilisation with Movement and its principles of application
* provides a systematic review of the evidence for its efficacy
* reviews the current state of play of Mulligan""s ""positional fault hypothesis""
* presents a new model of the mechanisms by which Mobilisation with Movement works
* demonstrates the clinical application of Mobilisation with Movement through twelve cases by leading practitioners
* more advanced aspects of the clinical application are developed and critiqued, including guidelines on dosage and troubleshooting
* accompanying DVD demonstrates techniques from the text and features Brian Mulligan
