NAGS- Natural Apophyseal Glides.SNAGS - Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides.MWMS- Mobilization with Movements.The concept of Mobilizations with movement (MWM) of the extremities and SNAGS (sustained natural apophyseal glides) of the spine were first coined by Brian R. MulliganMulligan proposed that injuries or sprains might result in a minor "positional fault" to a joint causing restrictions in physiological movement.The techniques have been developed to overcome joint `tracking' problems or `positional faults', i.e. joints with subtle biomechanical changes.Normal joints have been designed in such a way that the shape of the articular surfaces, the thickness of the cartilage, the orientation of the fibres of ligaments and capsule, the direction of pul...Normal proprioceptive feedback maintains this balance. Alteration in any or all of the above factors would alter the joint position or tracking during movement and would provoke symptoms of pain, s...SNAGs
1. SNAGs stand for Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides. 2. SNAGs can be applied to all the spinal joints, the rib cage and the sacroiliac joint. 3. The therapist applies the appropriate accessory zygapophyseal glide while the patient performs the symptomatic movement. 4. This must result in full range pain free movement. 5. SNAGs are most successful when symptoms are provoked by a movement and are not multilevel. 6. They are not the choice in conditions that are highly irritable. 7. Although...
NAGs
1. NAGs stand for 'Natural Apophyseal Glides”. 2. NAGs are used for the cervical and upper thoracic spine. 3. They consist of oscillatory mobilizations instead of sustained glide like SNAGs, and it can be applied to the facet joints between 2nd cervical and 3rd thoracic vertebrae. 4. NAGs are mid-range to end range facet joint mobilizations applied antero-superiorly along the treatment planes of the joint selected. 5. Useful for grossly restricted spinal movement. 6. NAGs for the treatment of...
Peripheral MWM
1. Once the aggravating movement has been identified, an appropriate glide is chosen. 2. The decision to use weight-bearing or Non-weight bearing movement depends upon the severity, irritability and nature of the condition. 3. Once the glide has been chosen it must be sustained throughout the physiological movement until the joint returns to its original starting position 4. Mobilizations performed are always into resistance but without pain 5. Immediate relief of pain and improvement in ROM...
