Mulligan Concept Canada - Approach
At Mulligan Concept™ Canada we pride ourselves on building up clinicians to become the next generation of high-calibre, evidence governed, critical thinking and integrative orthopaedic health care professionals.
We have consistently achieved this through two key components;
First, the Mulligan Concept’s comprehensive curriculum will immerse you in the concept, clinical reasoning, application strategy, clinical evidence and the refined application of hands-on mobilizations with movement (MWM). A combination of technical demonstration, video, patient demonstration, literature review, didactic presentation, group problem solving, advanced reading, and direct instructor feedback are used to ensure a diverse uptake of the course material.
Second, our approach will openly acknowledge and integrate the Mulligan Concept’s application within the big picture of the daily clinical treatment. What this means is that you will understand when the Mulligan Concept is (and isn’t) indicated. You will also understand the ‘why’.
Further, through the use of clinical examples and cases, you will understand how to effectively integrate the Mulligan Concept™ alongside your other orthopaedic skills. For example, we will review how the Mulligan Concept™ can effectively co-exist with communication, education, taping, exercise, manipulation, and much more. The result is a broadening of clinical skills that can immediately (and successfully) be applied on Monday morning!
– The Mulligan Concept™ strives to build confident and dynamic orthopaedic clinicians; and we hope to see you on our next course –
