Movement With Mobilization

Movement with Mobilization (MWM) is based on Mulligan's work.
His SNAGs = Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides involve passively (operator) introduced translation that is maintained while the patient goes toward the restricted endrange. The translatory or gliding force is typically maintained while a return to passive neutral is established.

One of the easiest and most useful techniques that can be taught to patients is the one involving a towel drawn against the nape an tugged on forward by the patient via handhold on either side. These have been called self-MWMs.


The Functional Techniques of Osteopathy appear to be the closest analogue.
