Mulligan Concept

Sports Manual Therapy by Josef Andersen. Treatment of hip pain in sports has never been easier and as effective. Host a course in your country or join the courses in a country near you.

Sports Manual Therapy (MWM IN SPORTS) invented by Josef M Andersen. A ribcage mobilisation to reduce shoulder pain or interscapular pain or increase ROM.

MWM for hand behind the back. A very effective technique to regain ROM for HBB restrictions. Note that if painful abort the technique as it may indicate biceps or labrum injury. You can also try to compress the head of humerus towards the glenoid, for the few it might be more effective. This movement is the last one to typically recover, so if the response is low, no rush.

FRT flexion rotation test to detect los of rotation between C 1-C 2. The test was initially described by Dvorak then studied by others including Toby Hall and others.?The test is the only specific and sensitive test in the literature, that is why it is highly applicable to research relating to the upper cx and more specifically to study the headache population, most of those who suffer from headache and post concussion symptoms will typically have a clear restriction in c1-C2 rotation. Typical treatment is a combination of the Bridge technique followed by C1-2 rotation SNAG. This is also very relevant to treatment of Tinitus and whiplash disorders.

Severe low back / sacral pain
Fell on the stairs a couple of weeks ago. Where would you start your treatment ?

When you have neck pain and headache and happen to sit near Josef on the plane. Two minutes of treatment and you land without headache and no neck pain. Mulligan air magic.

Restriction in plantar flexion is most likely to be related to instability rather than true stiffness. In case of stiffness such as after immobilization etc. you can pull talus forward as described by Mulligan, if you re not sure, push talus backwards as for DF MWM, it’s safe, in case of instability it will feel good, in case of stiffness it will be painful or uncomfortable, that will help you differentiate stiff vs unstable. So if unstable push at talus and ask for active plantar flexion but if stiff do as described by mulligan pull talus passively forward few times and retest. Remember, the ankle is very vulnerable towards plantar flexion movement.
