The Mulligan concept is a unique approach to manual therapy discovered and developed by a New Zealand based physical therapist, Brian Mulligan, PT, F.N.Z.S.P. (Hon), Dip. M.T. Therapists apply this approach with pain free manual joint “repositioning” techniques in order to restore function and remove pain as patient moves through their range of motion.
