These are techniques applied to the joints of the body. They were developed by a man called Brian Milligan,a Physiotherapist from New Zealand.
They are very effective in the treatment of many musculoskeletal injuries by reducing pain and improving the movement in joints of the body.
These techniques are called NAGS, SNAGS and MWM.
NAGS and SNAGS
Natural apophyseal glides and sustained natural apophyseal glides.
These are manual techniques applied to the joints of the spine and can be carried out with the client lying down or sitting.
MWM
Mobilisations with Movement
These are manual techniques applied to the joints of the upper and lower limbs.
You will also be shown techniques to carry out self treatment at home as part or your home exercise programme. This is a very important part of the treatment as it allows you to continue the treatment at home and helps to get back to normality as quickly as possible.
