Common questions
FAQ
- Is this course MCTA-accredited?
- Yes. Every Clinician Edge course is taught by an MCTA-accredited instructor and counts toward the international Mulligan Concept Teacher Association curriculum.
- Do I need prior Mulligan Concept™ training?
- No. Each course stands on its own. The Introductory course is recommended (not required) for clinicians completely new to MWM, but our Upper Quadrant and Lower Quadrant courses are designed to be solid first exposures as well.
- What if my work schedule changes and I need to cancel?
- We offer a transfer-or-refund window up to 30 days before the course date. Within 30 days we'll work with you to transfer your registration to a future date or another clinician at your clinic.
- Can my whole team attend together?
- Absolutely. Group rates are available for 3+ clinicians from the same clinic. Email us — we'll set you up with a direct invoice and group seating in the lab.
- Will I really be able to use this on Monday morning?
- That's the design intent. Roughly 80% of each day is hands-on lab time with instructor coaching. You'll leave having repped each technique on a real partner — not just watched a slide.
