The originator
Brian Mulligan, FNZSP (Hon), O.N.Z.M
Founder of the Mulligan Concept™ of Manual Therapy
A globally respected physiotherapist from New Zealand, Brian Mulligan authored the Mobilization With Movement™ (MWM) framework you'll learn through every course in this pathway. The concept is taught in 40+ countries and underpins the CMP credential.
The Mulligan Concept Teacher Association (MCTA) preserves and advances his work. The Clinician Edge is the MCTA-accredited delivery partner in North America.

The CMP pathway is three milestones culminating in the credentialing exam — Upper and Lower Quadrant (in either order) share Step 1, both required before Advanced. New to MWM? Take the optional Step 0 · Intro before Step 1 — beneficial, but not required.
