The same material as e-learning, built by the three of them.
Discover the courseThe explanations are simple, which makes putting things into practice easier. I finally understood some tools and content already covered in other courses, but which I had not really managed to apply in the clinic. I find your course clear and relevant!
A lot of excellent content. I liked the neurophysiology of pain, and the bonus material on looking after yourself as a clinician. Plenty to take away and think about, all of it explained clearly. Thank you for this course.
Really useful, really practical — this is my first course since qualifying (physio + Master's in adapted physical activity). The communication keys are not always easy to put in place in the clinic, but you leave with good tips, and the role-play videos are great!
Antoine Couly has been a physiotherapist in private practice since 2017 and holds a master’s degree in psychology, motor control and sports performance from Université Paris-Sud. He teaches the psychological factors of pain at the ENKRE and co-wrote “Tiens-toi droit ?!”, published by Flammarion.
Three: Psychological disorders and pain, and endometriosis from A to Z, on-site as well as e-learning.
It is a physiotherapy course: recognising the psychological factors that keep persistent pain going, knowing what to do with them within a session, and knowing when to refer. It is co-taught with a clinical psychologist, precisely in order to hold that boundary.
That most of the postural instructions given to patients rest on nothing solid — this is the argument of his book, co-written with Olivia Ferrand, and a position he holds as part of an evidence-based practice approach.
