About the Author: Brian Mulligan
Brian Mulligan originated and developed the concept of combining accessory mobilizations with physiological movements in the extremities (MWMS). In the spine, he promotes the use of natural apophyseal glides (NAGS) and sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGS). He received the prestigious International Service to The Profession Award from the WCPT and has been an international lecturer in manual therapy since 1972.
