The Mulligan Concept:
Symptom Modification with a Purpose

The Mulligan Concept: Symptom Modification with a Purpose
Learn how to use Symptom Modification procedures in clinical practice to guide assessments and effective treatments through real-time changes in symptoms.
Symptom Modification is valuable because it allows physical therapists to determine, within minutes, whether a specific movement, manual technique, or exercise has a meaningful effect on a patient’s symptoms, helping identify the most appropriate treatment direction. This process improves treatment efficiency, builds patient confidence, and supports a more individualized, evidence-informed plan of care.
Orthopedic, sports medicine, vestibular and manual therapy practitioners will learn:
- The principles of symptom modification and how immediate changes in pain, movement, or function can guide clinical decision-making.
- Practical symptom modification strategies to rapidly identify interventions that improve patient movement, reduce symptoms, and increase confidence during treatment.
- How to integrate symptom modification into daily practice for more efficient, patient-centered treatment plans with measurable outcomes and faster progress.
