- form a diagnosis and conduct special testing
- Tailor your treatment approach to your patient’s goals and needs based on the latest evidence
The content constantly refers to the latest research and science so you know your skills are up to date. Furthermore, you will develop a clinical pattern for each pathology during the course. Do it well and you walk away with a valuable resource to use during your studies or in the clinic.
Furthermore, the course includes short interactive video quizzes in each unit, a total of 3 case studies that you can use to practice differential diagnosis per region, and 3 chapter quizzes to assess your learning process and to solidify your newly acquired knowledge! Submitting these assignments will award you credits you can redeem for solutions to the case studies.

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.

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.
