Physiotherapy courses for the
hip, knee, ankle and foot
Tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, sprains and post-operative rehabilitation of the lower limb: six courses, e-learning and on-site, all eligible for DPC funding.
In brief
The lower limb is the most frequent reason for consultation in private practice, and the one where tendinopathies hold out the longest. Physio Learning offers six courses : lateral hip, Achilles tendon, hamstring injuries, calf injuries, hip rehabilitation, plantar heel pain. All six carry an ANDPC action number (provider no. 99GX).
What this covers,
in practice
The lower limb is a Physio Learning teaching grouping, a subdivision of musculoskeletal practice, and not an area of practice recognised by the Ordre.
What this field covers
- The hip: lateral hip pain and gluteus medius tendinopathy, with an approach that hands the patient back their own rehabilitation.
- The Achilles tendon and the calf, from tendinopathy to rupture, in e-learning and on site alike.
- Hamstring injuries, from the acute phase to the return to play.
- The foot and ankle: plantar heel pain, heel spur, tibialis posterior dysfunction.
Who it is for
Physiotherapists whose caseload is dominated by the knee and the ankle, and those who keep seeing the same tendinopathies come back for want of a clear progression framework.
What changes in your practice
You will dose load instead of guessing at it, you will know when lateral hip pain is not a bursitis, and you will hand the patient back control of their own rehabilitation.
The lower limb, one building block of musculoskeletal practice
The lower limb is one of the Physio Learning teaching axes; it is not an area of practice in its own right. The hours you build up here count towards the recognised area of practice “Rééducation du système musculo-squelettique”, musculoskeletal rehabilitation (opinion of the Conseil national de l'Ordre of 30 March 2021).
Training regularly in this field means moving forward, course after course. The Physio Learning app records those hours in your skills web, axis by axis, as each course is completed.
The conditions under which an area of practice is recognised are a matter for the Ordre des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes.
Select courses and project your hours towards the speciality. 80 h is the milestone we set ourselves, so that a speciality is genuinely within reach with our catalogue.

Are these courses eligible for the DPC?
All six carry an ANDPC action number under provider no. 99GX. The exact number and the sessions currently open are shown on each course page.
And the FIFPL?
Three courses currently carry a NACPRO reference for physiotherapists: hip rehabilitation, calf injuries and hamstring injuries. The reference is stated on the course page concerned.
E-learning or on-site, how do you choose?
E-learning courses are taken at your own pace and cover clinical reasoning. On-site courses, over two days, are built around hands-on practice and simulated cases. The two formats complement each other rather than replace each other.
Is the lower limb an area of practice?
No. It is a Physio Learning teaching axis. The hours you complete here count towards the recognised area of practice “Rééducation du système musculo-squelettique”, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, the conditions for which are a matter for the Ordre des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes.
I am interested in a course but no dates are open.
Its course page will then offer to let you know by e-mail as soon as the next sessions open.
