David,
You do not learn these at the university level, but pursue this after you
graduate through courses and continual education. The only reason why I
refer to these techniques as radical is because for a graduate who went
through the "Maitland approach," Mulligan and McKenzie offers me a different
way of thinking about the human body, and I could only be saddened that
students are not been taught this. I know a few of my friends who went
through uni who still believe that Maitland is the answer, and wonder why
they don't get the success that so many of us have using a combination of
techniques.
