The revolution that his innovative ideas, have brought to remediation, are based on painless improvement of human behavior through a unique combination of passive joint mobilization and active movement. These techniques were developed by Mulligan in New Zealand in the 70s.
At first he used these techniques in the cervical spine, but later he found them equally effective in other areas as well, while recently he started to implement his techniques on peripheral joints.
