The originator
Brian Mulligan, FNZSP (Hon), O.N.Z.M
Founder of the Mulligan Concept™ of Manual Therapy
A globally respected physiotherapist from New Zealand, Brian Mulligan authored the Mobilization With Movement (MWM) framework you'll learn through every course in this pathway. The concept is taught in 40+ countries and underpins the CMP credential.
The Mulligan Concept Teachers Association (MCTA) preserves and advances his work. The Clinician's Edge is the MCTA-accredited delivery partner in North America.
