Why this course?

A complete online course to feel at ease managing vascular disorders in your clinic.

Screen so you know when it is safe to treat.

Can you really tell the difference between purely musculoskeletal pain and pain of vascular origin?

This course will teach you to spot the warning signs often missed in the clinic, to structure your history taking and to carry out a rigorous screening examination.

The aim: to minimise the risks for your patients, to make your care safe and to know how to talk to doctors so that you refer on in a justified and appropriate way.

100% EBP criteria and practical cases you can bring into the clinic from tomorrow.

After this e-learning, they moved on to the in-person days

Nine Level 2 participants filmed on the spot as they left, unscripted: what the full pathway changes back at the clinic.

I used to watch patients go a long time without a real answer. Now I know how to refer them so they finally get treated.

What fellow physios say.

A great course, every physio should do it!
Dorian B.Physiotherapist
This course clearly calls into question the practice I came out of school with, and it makes me safer in the way I manage my patients. It means I now know how to suspect conditions I had never heard of before.
Elisa B.Osteopath
My level of vigilance has gone up, and my patients are the better for it! My knowledge has gone up too: I understand what I see in the clinic better and my screening is more relevant.
Oriane L.Physiotherapist in private practice
An excellent course. Some of the topics were completely unknown to me and it made me realise how poor my initial training on vascular disorders had been. Thank you, you are the best.
Bastien G.Physiotherapist
A course that should be compulsory in initial training! The documentation work is incredible, but perhaps too dense. Summaries at the end of each module would be welcome.
Mathilde D.Osteopath
Thank you for the V2, the content is more pleasant to read. Extremely dense content, far longer than the 30h advertised haha, but it is well worth it. An essential course, thank you for the quality of your work.
Marie D.Physiotherapist
The course is incredible and answers real needs that initial training never considered. The platform is clear and pleasant, everything went very well and the explanations are clear.
Leandro M.Physiotherapist
Very high quality and well referenced: every physio should benefit from it, to make us aware of the vascular risks in our clinics, which are very much there!!
Déborah L.Physiotherapist
The course is extremely thorough and well structured. The clinical cases (audio, videos) are very relevant and help us take it into our own practice in the clinic. A fine balance between theory and practice.
Margaux G.Osteopath
A GOLDMINE of information I had never had before! Dense, not always easy to take in, but that comes with the amount of information needed.
Baptiste A.Physiotherapist
I really enjoyed this way of learning. I could take all the time I needed to take in as much information as possible and make great revision notes. So handy to get to it wherever you want, whenever you want.
Matthieu B.Osteopath
