Mulligan Belt

A Mulligan belt is a specialized strap used in Mulligan Concept manual therapy, which focuses on mobilization techniques to improve joint movement and reduce pain. It is commonly used by physiotherapists to provide sustained passive support while performing mobilizations, especially for the lumbar spine, pelvis, and lower extremities.

Key Features of a Mulligan Belt:

• Material: Made of strong, durable, and non-elastic fabric to provide firm support.

• Adjustability: Features a buckle or Velcro for easy tightening and adjustment.

• Uses: Helps apply force during mobilization techniques, improves patient stability, and allows the therapist to use less effort while maintaining proper technique.

Uses in Physiotherapy:

1. Lumbar and Pelvic Mobilization – Used to stabilize the pelvis while applying manual therapy techniques.

2. Knee and Ankle Mobilization – Provides controlled resistance to enhance joint mobilization.

3. Shoulder and Cervical Mobilization – Assists in sustaining mobilization forces while allowing the therapist to control movement more effectively.
