June 4–7, 2026, the 【Internationally Certified Mulligan Concept Mobilisation (Upper Limb & Lower Limb)】 course hosted by Jianheng Academy was successfully held in Shenzhen.
Rehabilitation therapists, physiotherapists and sports rehabilitation practitioners from across the country gathered together, completing four days of intensive, hands-on systematic training under the guidance of Teacher Gorman Ngai (Wei Zhirong).
Why Is This Technique Widely Recognized?
If there is one manual therapy technique that delivers pain-free treatment with immediate and long-lasting results, the Mulligan Concept Mobilisation is undoubtedly among them.
Developed over more than 40 years and validated by over 426 academic studies, the Mulligan Concept has been extensively verified globally since its inception and is an indispensable core technique in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
A revolutionary weight-bearing treatment approach: Unlike conventional supine therapy, the Mulligan Concept involves treatment performed with patients in weight-bearing positions such as standing or sitting (e.g., NAGS, SNAGS). Results are immediate, resolving the common problem of symptom relief while lying down and recurrence when weight-bearing.
Based on a pain-free principle, it achieves exceptional patient compliance. The entire intervention avoids unnecessary pain, enabling therapists to manage complex clinical conditions safely and efficiently.
Top Instructor · Taught by the First Authorized Lecturer in Asia-Pacific
This course is fully delivered by Gorman Ngai (Wei Zhirong), an accredited instructor of the Mulligan Concept Teachers Association (MCTA) and the first authorized Mulligan instructor in the Asia-Pacific region.
A dual-registered physiotherapist in Hong Kong and Australia, Mr. Ngai has over 30 years of experience in orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation, and has previously served as the team physiotherapist for Hong Kong football and rugby teams.
He shared the core essence of the Mulligan Concept openly throughout the training, covering foundational principles and clinical reasoning with hands-on guidance, ensuring every participant masters the key techniques of dynamic joint mobilisation.
Course Content: Comprehensive Mastery – From the Spine to the Extremities
This 4-day course covers the complete set of dynamic joint mobilisation techniques for the upper and lower limbs, combining theory with extensive hands-on practice for an extremely high density of practical content.
Upper Limb Module (Cervical Spine / Thoracic Spine / Upper Extremities):Focuses on cervicogenic headache, cervicogenic dizziness, shoulder pain, tennis elbow and other common conditions. It provides an in-depth breakdown of the application of NAGS (Natural Apophyseal Gliding Techniques), Reverse NAGS, SNAGS (Sustained Natural Apophyseal Gliding Techniques) and self-administered SNAGS for the cervical spine and upper thoracic spine.
Lower Limb Module (Lumbar Spine / Pelvis / Lower Extremities):
Designed for conditions such as low back pain, hip and knee pain, and ankle sprains. It focuses on hands-on practice of MWM (Mobilisation With Movement), SMWAM (Spinal Mobilisation With Arm Movement), SMWLM (Spinal Mobilisation With Leg Movement), enabling participants to manage complex positional dysfunctions of the lumbar spine and lower extremities.
The core philosophy runs throughout the entire course: identify subtle joint malalignments, restore proper alignment during active functional movement, and make pain-free movement the norm.
Learner Outcomes
Four days of intensive hands-on training have brought tremendous gains. Many participants shared their genuine feedback after the course:
"Mulligan Concept truly lives up to its reputation! When I treated patients with lower back pain before, their pain would subside while lying down after manual therapy, but return as soon as they stood up. After learning SNAGS and MWM and performing mobilisations with patients under weight-bearing conditions, the results are immediate and long-lasting — it’s amazing!"
"Mr. Gorman Ngai teaches with excellent logic, explaining the fine details of NAGS and SNAGS thoroughly. I now have a brand-new treatment approach for patients suffering from cervical dizziness and headaches when I return to practice."
Three Core Benefits for Participants:
1、Practical Skill Mastery: Gain proficient command of classic Mulligan mobilisation techniques for upper and lower extremities, building greater confidence in clinical practice.
2、Advanced Clinical Reasoning: Adopt the logic of treating during active movement, breaking through the limitations of conventional manual therapy approaches.
3、Official International Certification: Receive the official Mulligan international course attendance certificate, adding a powerful credential to your professional resume.
