Mobilization with movement (MWM) is a class of
manual therapy techniques that is widely used in the
management of musculoskeletal pain. It involves the
manual application of a sustained glide by a therapist to
a joint while a concurrent movement of the joint is
actively performed by the patient (Mulligan, 1999).
Studies using MWM techniques on the elbow and ankle
have shown them to be effective in reducing pain as
measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) and pressure
pain threshold (PPT) and increasing joint range of
movement (ROM) (Vicenzino and Wright, 1995;
