Introduction[edit | edit source]
Mobilization with Movement (MWM) developed by Brian Mulligan FNZSP (Hon) of New Zealand is recognized world wide in manual therapy approaches. His concept is the application of manually applied accessory joint glide with concomitant pain free active movement.
During the development of MWMs Brian Mulligan discovered that treatment in some patients was enhanced when he utilized taping to compliment the directional forces provided after the MWM treatment bout. Taping is applied in directions that compliment the applied MWM passive force to a joint or soft tissue.
As with all taping techniques the evidence is controversial. Mulligan taping has been shown to be effective at reducing pain in PFPS[1]
