Brian Mulligan qualified as a physiotherapist in New Zealand in 1954. Having travelled widely for many decades teaching his Mulligan Concept to health professionals, he has been recognised internationally for his influence on the field of manual therapy. Researchers have now published hundreds of articles on Mulligan Concept treatments and physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and orthopaedic doctors use his treatment techniques around the world. This book has been written to share with the public some of his innovative and certainly useful self-treatments. Updated with the latest advice on posture and safe lifting, it also has management advice on acute injuries and when to seek additional medical help. Simple "pain free" rules are applied to the self-treatments and self-tapings. Many common joint problems are included, from ankles, to elbows, from necks to low backs; so you, the patient can take control and care for your own musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
