Become a Certified Mulligan Practitioner (CMP)
At The Clinician Edge, we proudly offer the Certified Mulligan Practitioner (CMP) Exam—your opportunity to earn a respected credential in one of the most effective and evidence-informed manual therapy systems available today.
Becoming a CMP sets you apart as a recognized expert in Mobilization With Movement™ (MWM) and offers you a unique clinical and professional advantage. Certified practitioners are eligible to be listed on the official BMulligan.com directory, making them visible to clinicians and patients seeking skilled Mulligan-trained professionals.
Whether you're looking to deepen your clinical expertise, expand your professional recognition, or take the first step toward future teaching opportunities, the CMP process offers a clear and rewarding path forward.
Continuing Education Credits
The NA-MCTA has recognized the need to identify physical therapists that are competent in both a didactic knowledge base and clinical/practical expertise in the Mulligan Concept ™. In brief, the CMP testing has both a didactic and manual skills examination. Upon successful completion of the examination process these clinicians will be recognized as Certified Mulligan Practitioners (CMP).
Those eligible to apply for the CMP exam include: Physical Therapists, ATCs, Medical Doctors, Osteopaths, and Chiropractors (Note: OT, PTA, and COTA are not eligible).
To be admitted to the CMP examination, applicants must have completed the following course sequences.
UPPER QUADRANT
LOWER QUADRANT
ADVANCED COURSE
NOTE: The Introductory course is not required. Nor are Mark Oliver’s Pelvic Girdle MWM course contents required for the Exam. The successful CMP participant should know the core curriculum of: UQ, LQ and Advanced Course material as well as know Brian Mulligan’s 7th ed. Manual Therapy text contents.
Clinical Experience with Mulligan Concept ™ is highly recommended. It is the expectation of the MCTA that individuals who have taken the recommended course work and have clinical experience with the Mulligan Concept ™ should be successful with the exam process. Clinicians who have not regularly practiced the mobilization with movement approach and used Brian Mulligan’s 6th edition text as a clinical resource and guide for developing further understanding and skill in the Mulligan Concept ™ may find the CMP credentialing exam challenging.
All Certified Mulligan Practitioners have met the conditions and qualifications outlined by the MCTA to be listed as a Certified Mulligan Practitioner. Beyond documenting the above Certification requirements, the MCTA makes no representation as to the overall professional qualifications or competence of those listed and does not necessarily recommend or endorse the services of those listed. To retain their CMP status and listing in our directory, CMPs are expected to maintain the highest ethical professional conduct and promote and support the mission of the International Mulligan Concept ™ Teachers Association.
The day before the CMP examination, a review/preparation session will be help
from 4:30-6:00 PM. At that time a specific examinaton time will be assigned to
each participant for the following days examination.
Examination times begin at 8:00 AM for both the written and the practical
portions of the examination. Once each participant completes their written and
practical examinations they are free to leave. If you have specific travel plans,
please notify your instructor so test times can be arranged accordingly.
