Summary

Mobilisation with Movement (MWM) is fast becoming one of the most popular manual therapy approaches for the management of musculoskeletal disorders.#xA0;#xA0; When Brian Mulligan first introduced the technique in 1984 in New Zealand, there was very little evidence to support its effectiveness.#xA0; 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.#xA0; 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
