Why this course?

The essential course for mastering every aspect of complete postnatal rehabilitation.

An honest, pragmatic, evidence-based approach.

Looking for a course that promises neither ready-made recipes nor miracle protocols?

This course will give you a clear, realistic view of the causes, the mechanisms and the management of these common injuries.

You will learn to structure your assessments, guide your patients and support their self-management with tools you can apply in clinic the very next day.

Tools you can apply immediately — no abstract theory, only hands-on, real-world content.

DPC: the Agence nationale du DPC pays the training provider directly, subject to your application being approved and to your annual allowance still being available. Some of the cost may remain payable by you, depending on the course price and the amount funded. The attendance allowance is paid by the Agence, at its own rates and for on-site courses only.

A French scheme, open to healthcare professionals practising in France.
FIFPL: you pay for the course, then claim reimbursement. It is full or partial depending on the course, and decided by the FIFPL independently of Physio Learning, within your remaining annual allowance and the budget allocated to your profession. The caps shown are those of the masseur-kinésithérapeute scale for 2026; other professions come under their own section's scale. An online course is capped at half these amounts. A French fund, open to self-employed practitioners registered in France.
