Anthony Baillon, physiotherapist and instructor at Physio Learning

Co-founder and instructor at Physio Learning

Anthony Baillonphysiotherapist, tendinopathy and digital learning

A state-registered physiotherapist who qualified in Toulouse in 2014, he works in private practice in Marseille with a musculoskeletal focus. Before he ever taught, he was already building digital health tools — a mobile app, then a chatbot, five years before ChatGPT. He co-founded Physio Learning in 2020: he teaches four e-learning courses on tendinopathy there, and builds the platform that hosts them himself.

Anthony Baillon's career

A background that does not run in the expected order: before he taught anything, he had incubated a startup, built a mobile app and designed a health chatbot. So when Physio Learning was founded in 2020, he brought more than clinical expertise — he brought the tool as well, and still develops it himself.

  1. 2011 to 2014 · Initial training

    French State Diploma in Physiotherapy

    In Toulouse, Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier.

  2. Since 2014 · Clinical

    Physiotherapist in private practice in Marseille

    A musculoskeletal practice, centred on tendinopathy and patient self-management. That clinical ground, never left behind, is what feeds what he teaches.

  3. Ongoing · Specialisation

    Sports physiotherapy and orthopaedic manual therapy

    Two programmes he brings together into concrete clinical tools, ready to use in private practice.

  4. 2016 to 2017 · Entrepreneurship

    Incubated at 1Kubator, Bordeaux then Lyon

    Nine months building a startup and its mobile app, which he coded himself: his first experience of taking a digital product from idea to release.

  5. 2017 · Digital health

    Designed a physiotherapy chatbot

    Five years before ChatGPT: no language model existed to hold the conversation for him, so the whole logic was written by hand — a complex algorithmic system, running on Messenger. His first digital tools applied to health, three years before Physio Learning.

  6. Since November 2020 · Leadership

    Co-founder of Physio Learning

    The provider grew out of a belief he puts plainly: continuing education for physiotherapists can be rigorous, engaging and accessible at the same time.

  7. Since 2020 · Course delivery

    Physio Learning instructor

    His course on lateral hip pain is the first the provider published, in December 2020; three more followed, on the foot, the Achilles tendon and blood flow restriction.

His role at Physio Learning

As a co-founder, he designs the courses and develops the platform. The two jobs are not two teams talking to each other: the same person decides on the teaching and on the tool that carries it.

Course design

The format as much as the content: quizzes, interactive video, progression. What makes a course get finished, not just started.

Platform development

He designs and builds the learning environment himself, from interface design to code (Flutter, artificial intelligence). Friction he hits while building a module gets fixed in the tool, not filed as a ticket.

Literature watch and updates

His e-learning courses are revised as the literature moves, following our editorial methodology.

How he works

  • Clinical cases before concepts: his through-line — evidence-based content, anchored in situations you meet in the clinic.

  • Patient self-management and therapeutic communication, two threads he works into every one of his courses: good care, he says, is also a good relationship.

  • MMA practitioner, outside the clinic.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Anthony Baillon?

Anthony Baillon is a state-registered physiotherapist who qualified in 2014 and works in private practice in Marseille. A co-founder of Physio Learning in 2020, he teaches four e-learning courses on lower limb tendinopathy and builds the learning platform himself.

Did he found Physio Learning?

He is a co-founder, since November 2020. The first course the provider published, on lateral hip pain, is in fact his own. He is co-founder, platform designer and instructor at once.

Which courses does he teach at Physio Learning?

Four e-learning courses: lateral hip pain, Achilles tendinopathy and rupture, plantar heel pain and blood flow restriction.

Why does a physiotherapist build his own platform?

Because the two started together. Before Physio Learning he had already incubated a startup, built a mobile app and designed a physiotherapy chatbot — in 2017, five years before ChatGPT, when the conversational logic still had to be written entirely by hand. The platform therefore moves at the pace of teaching needs, set by the person who also designs the courses.

What is his field of expertise?

Lower limb tendinopathy — hip, foot, Achilles tendon — and load management, together with blood flow restriction as a tool for strengthening under reduced load.

Are his courses available straight away?

They are e-learning courses: access arrangements, duration and price are detailed on each course page. Our distance courses are gathered on the online courses page.
