Why this course?

A complete course that enables practitioners to help patients with neuro-musculoskeletal disorders.

An honest, pragmatic and evidence-based approach.

Looking for a course that promises neither ready-made recipes nor miracle protocols in the face of complex cases?

This course gives you a clear, realistic view of nerve injury, neuropathic pain and nerve entrapment syndromes.

You will learn to structure your neurological assessments, to tell different types of pain apart and to guide your patients towards active, efficient rehabilitation.

Tools you can apply immediately — neuropalpation, neurodynamic testing and a biopsychosocial approach.

Your instructor

Hi, I'm Miguel!

An osteopath in private practice, his field of choice is pain and the understanding of it, a foundational skill for any therapist. Today, peripheral nerve disorders make up the majority of his caseload. After assisting Mr Littré in delivering his courses, in 2024 he became co-instructor alongside him, and sole instructor for this course.

What fellow physios say.

The instructor's approachability and humility. The course is extremely thorough and it is obvious that Miguel put an enormous amount of work into designing and preparing it. It demystified the neuro and vascular assessment with rock-solid clinical reasoning! THANK YOU!
Loann R.Physiotherapist
Top-class instructor, great atmosphere, very clear and a real teacher. A game changer of a course for my practice, a thousand thanks.
Thomas B.Physiotherapist
Excellent course!! Miguel is genuinely a great teacher and very clear in his explanations, hugely invested and well versed in the subject, which is brilliant. The content is really great on the assessment side; you come away with the keys you need.
Mélanie M.Physiotherapist
A very interesting course, but above all a necessary one! The pace flows well, punctuated with anecdotes and real cases that help you make the content your own. A good theory/practice ratio. Instructors who teach well and put you at ease.
Pauline P.Physiotherapist
The content: dense but necessary. Concrete, easy to put into practice. Miguel is a great teacher, humble, approachable. He wants to share his knowledge in a field he is passionate about, holding nothing back. I strongly recommend it +++
Clémentine G.Physiotherapist
A very clear course on a subject that seems complex. You can use it in the clinic the very next Monday, with a real sense of mastery and of bringing a lot to the patient.
Mathieu P.Physiotherapist
Thank you to Miguel for this fine course. Teaching and commitment were top class. Interesting bibliography, treatment well explained.
Sébastien C.Physiotherapist
A very dense course, but Miguel brought it to life and, thanks to plenty of repetition, made it easy to digest.
