Another great course !
After finishing the Orthopedic course for Lower & Upper limbs, I was looking forward to begin this Spine specific course.
Really good overview about all spine pathologies from epidemiology to diagnosis & treatment which made me more confident to care for my future patients.
The courses are well detailed with lot of informations and videos.
For me these 2 courses are must to see to learn and update knowledge for most common pathologies in Physiotherapy.
Highly methodical, with plenty of scientific reference
Clear, structured and well researched course concerning most common pathologies of the spinal complex.
Plenty of informative modules, with detailed video-analysis.
If you’re looking for a course to study in your own time, with enough depth and scientific background, then you’ve found a very good one here.
Bang for buck, a great course.
very informative and updated
for anyone who is lost in handling spine cases, this course is very helpful.
Really well designed
During the corona crisis, I booked many online courses and webinars, but none were as entertaining and well thought out as PhysioTutors’ courses.
All units are well summarized, meaningfully broken down and easy to understand.
I am looking forward to the other courses.
Many greetings from Germany.
Excellent course highly recommend
As a newly graduated physiotherapist i highly recommend this course just to know you are on the right track with your patients. the information presented is very clear and easy to follow as well as the great physiotherapy style videos. It makes learning actually fun , thanks guys for all your hard work. Well deserved.
The spine
Really a well done course, using the modern ways of teaching. Compliments! Sometimes for me you entered too much into details instead of touching more important chapters of Spine treatment like techniques for the treatment of muscles and fascias.
A Great Course

ORTHOPHEDIC PHYSIOTERAPY OF THE SPINE
Fantastic course! simple to follow and extremely helpful in assessing and treating spinal related issues. Furthermore, it is possible to immediately apply the knowledge acquired in the clinic. A must for us physiotherapists.
Spine course
After being a physiotherapist for 6 years, an update on the recent literature and techniques/testing helps a lot! Refreshment and some new insights. Would recommend.
Excellent Course Highly Recommended
Excellent course: well organized, clearly presented, thorough and clinically relevant.
Zeer interessante, uitgebreide cursus omtrent gehele wervelkolom
Super gestructureerde, interessante cursus.
Waarbij je een mooi overzicht krijgt over meest voorkomende pathologieën van de rug.
Voordeel is dat je de cursus kan blijven raadplegen doorheen de tijd.
Zeker een aanrader voor kinesisten die veel werken met MSK-populatie!
Uigebreidde en zeer leerzame cursus
Erg tevreden over de inhoud van de cursus. Erg leerzame cursus, die ik zeker op latere momenten nog eens zal raadplegen voor opfrissen van informatie. De video’s zijn op een rustige manier opgezet, waardoor het makkelijk te volgen is. (Het aantal accreditatiepunten voor de prijs is ook erg goed. Bij vragen of het aanvragen van accreditatiepunten krijg je zeer snel respons (accreditatepunten binnen 1 dag bijgeschreven).
Een heel klein kritiekpuntje is omtrent de vertaling van het engels naar het nederlands (vooral in de toetsen). Deze klopt niet altijd, waardoor je even moet nadenken wat ze bedoelen (echter ben ik erg slecht in Engels, dus kan mij voorstellen dat niet iedereen daar last van heeft).
A great couse
Very organized, very detailed. Learned a lot.
No negative things to report.
Highly recommend for all therapists, regardless of experience.

After I had learned a lot during the course Orthopedic Physiotherapy of the Upper and Lower Extremities, I completed this great compact course. It is clinically relevant, extremely well-researched and carefully structured. I can also recommend it!

Very valuable to refresh knowledge!
super helpful
Gives a great overview and information about different pathologies.
Intensieve en waardevolle opleiding
In 2014 sloot ik mijn MSc Manueeltherapie opleiding af. Toen al heel veel literatuur gelezen in de jaren daarvoor. Deze opleiding sloot daar heel mooi op aan, waarin ik precies de literatuur updates heb ontvangen die ik nodig had. Ook heel fijn om via Physiotutors remote te studeren in combinatie met een drukke praktijk. Ik heb als praktijkeigenaar in de afgelopen 3 maanden moment tussen behandelingen in gevuld met de opleiding. Hierdoor hoefde ik niet op een opleidingslocatie te zijn, en heb ik toch mijn studieupdate behaald die ik zocht. Dank Physiotutors!
Great course with a lot of information
I really enjoyed the course “Orthopedic Manual Therapy of the Spine”. There was a lot of information and they used a lot of recent studies to validate the course. The video’s were definitely an extra inside for the subjects and absolutely useful in daily practice. Even after finishing my Masters Manual Therapy a couple of years ago, this course was useful, due to the way of explaining and extra video’s. Thanks Physiotutors!
Orthopedic Physiotherapy of the spine - Good Coure
Goofd course, with information you need to know. To repeat soms knowledge helped me. To learn about evidence based effectivenes of tests helps me to make new choices in wich test i wil use. Same for treatment possibilities. The difference ways of bringing the knowledge is also nice: reading, short films en quizess. Big recomendation!
Orthopedic Physiotherapy of the spine
Interesting course packed with useful data and practical tools.
I highly recommend.
Good as always
Very thorough, a lot of new information for me. Perfectly organized with chapters and every chapter build up in the same way. More video content than other courses i did but they had a lot of info written down during the video so that was nice for somebody who has trouble listening for long periods of time.
Orthopedic physiotherapy of the spine
Goede cursus met veel diepgang op basis van de bekende literatuur. Duidelijke uitleg dankzij de filmpjes en veel inspiratie door hele praktische voorbeelden. Ik had 5 sterren gegeven wanneer er ook meer casuïstiek besproken zouden worden in de cursus, verder zeer interessant en goed toepasbaar in de dagelijkse praktijk.
Amazing
Great course and fun to learn!

Fijne cursus! Overzichtelijk en leerzaam en goed recap na MT opleiding!
Cursus: 'The spine'
Fijne opfrissingscursus en met momenten zeker ook vernieuwend. Voor mij als fysiotherapeut soms het gevoel dat de mobilisatietechnieken vooral Manueel therapie gericht waren, maar daarom niet minder leerzaam!

Thanks to this course, I am more confident to examine and treat patients with spine-related complaints. It was a good refresher for me.
Excellent refresher
I finished my Physio BSC almost 20 years ago and was in need of a refresh. This course provides a HUGE amount of information but the delivery is structured in a way that it never feels daunting. The end of chapter exams are very good to keep you focussed on the chapter objectives. This is my second course but certainly not my last. CS course next i think.
Just Superb.
Amazing course! It was everything I expected and more.
