(USA), Robin McKenzie, P.T., Dip MT (New Zealand), James Cyriax, M.D. (England), Alan Stoddard, D.O., M.D. (England) and “of course” Brian Mulligan, FNZSP (Hon), Dip MT (New Zealand). He became a Certified Mulligan Practitioner in 2005 and diligently works to further his own expertise, while passing on his experiential knowledge and skills to his fellow therapists and physicians.

Originally from Minnesota, Anne Bower, D.P.T., graduated from Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA in 2000 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. After graduation, she spent three years doing mouse stem cell research at Oregon Health Sciences University prior to deciding she preferred the company of people to mice. She then returned to school at Pacific University in Forest Grove and completed her physical therapy degree in 2006. Anne joined COMPI immediately following her graduation and has since been working to expand her manual therapy skills through mentorship and continuing education training. In her spare time, Anne can be found tooling the streets of Portland on her cruiser bicycle and trying to keep up with her two crazy dogs and four city chickens.
