Why this course?

An essential course to master the management of myo-collagenous injuries of the calf and of Achilles tendon rupture.

An honest, pragmatic, evidence-based approach.

What colleagues say.

Great course, Damien is incredibly clear. Managing the calf and the Achilles becomes simple and logical. Ideal for my caseload of runners.
Julie D.Physiotherapist
At last something concrete on EBP! No theoretical waffle, only validated tests and clear algorithms for rehabilitation.
Marc L.Sports Physio
The structured assessment completely changed the way I triage my patients. No more doubts about red flags during the clinical examination.
Thomas R.State-registered Physiotherapist
A biopsychosocial approach that really makes a difference in the clinic, especially for preventing recurrences. I recommend it!
Sophie K.Osteopath & Physio
The post-course WhatsApp support is a real luxury. Damien is always there to guide us through our complex clinical cases.
Antoine P.Private practice (Paris)
A dense course but extremely well paced. Practising in pairs with other physios really helps you take in the protocols.
Elodie B.Physiotherapist
You leave with objective criteria for every phase of LMC rehab. That is hugely reassuring for us and for the patient.

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. The DPC only covers healthcare professions bound by the French three-yearly requirement, and the allowance depends on the profession: the amounts shown are those for masseurs-kinésithérapeutes in 2026. 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.
