Description

MWM in Sports: A Specialized Course in Sports Therapy and Manual Sports Medicine is a practical and interactive two intensive days of Mobilizations with Movement (MWM) as applies to sports-related physiotherapy and manual sports medicine. While recognizing the multidimensional nature of the musculoskeletal system and the biopsychosocial elements involved and the necessity of multidisciplinary approaches, this course deals mainly with the health and function of the articular system and its implications on sports function and performance.

The MWM in Sports was initiated in 2011 by Brian R. Mulligan (NZ), Robert Rosetti NES (USA), and Josef M. Andersen (DK). The content is based on Brian Mulligan’s published principles and Josef Andersen’s decades of experience applying MWMs in sports-specific contexts (MWMS).

Further developments of initial screening tests, treatment techniques, and reasoning strategies were applied to multiple body regions; upper cervical spine, shoulder, ribcage, hip, pelvis, and ankle. These reasoning strategies, tests, and treatment techniques are integrated and exclusive to this hands-on lab course.

The course aims at preparing the therapist to deal with athletes at all levels and facilitate the return of the sportsperson to sports after an injury that has affected participation for a longer period than usual. The emphasis of this course is like Brian Mulligan’s MWMs, where the key component of interest is narrowed to optimal functional movements, and the target of assessment and treatment is the articular system.

The therapist will learn to identify movement disorders and restrictions that may limit the athlete’s function and performance level. The therapist will also learn how to create and develop effective MWMS for any given clinical presentation. For example, to create an MWMS for the hip joint for a basketball player experiencing groin pain during acceleration or to create an MWMS for a tennis player who experiences right-sided lumbar pain during a serve. An effective MWMS will then serve as part of the treatment or overall management. Part of the course is conducted in a GYM to assist the therapist in practicing and implementing MWMS principles as these apply to training instruments.

The course delivers an up-to-date clinical reasoning framework offering multiple simple pathways that may assist the therapist in recognizing some of the key elements that affect the athlete’s performance. Accuracy in the assessment process of MWMs and knowledge of MWMs will enhance the therapist’s accuracy and effectiveness in managing the athletes and creating valuable solutions.

This course is intensive, practical, challenging, fun, and guaranteed to be a great learning experience for every therapist wishing to enhance his/her knowledge and manual skills in sports therapy. You can start applying the content of this course immediately after the course in clinical practice.

Josef has instructed MWM in Sports in the following countries, including Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan, Russia, Armenia, and Ukraine.

Quotes from some of my favorite responses to this course:

‘A Swedish sports doctor with many years of experience also with the Mulligan Concept.’
‘This course was vitamins to the brain’
‘I wish MWM in Sports existed when I was a tennis player. This is a gift to athletes and trainers.´ (A professional tennis player)
‘I noticed that my Belgian and Dutch colleagues were using Mulligan MWM in Sports and I did not take the time to learn and wish I had 35 years ago. It is never too late.’ (A seventy-year-old Olympic sports doctor and author who represented Russia and Ukraine in six Olympics mentioned in an interview)

Outline

The efficacy of this approach can be quickly and easily ascertained in clinic. MWM skills will be learned and it is an expectation of this course that those therapists with a normal caseload will find an immediate improvement in outcome measures with patients with restricted and/or painful movement.

Each agenda item consists of Live Lecture and Lab Participation/Assessment. Typically, at least 50% of the agenda item is dedicated to Lab Participation/Assessment.
