What are clinicians saying about this Program?
This program has completely changed how I assess, plan for, and treat my patients. I have found that having the course visuals is a game changer for patient education. I have found that removing their triggers on day one gets immediate buy-in. Breaking down each situation (trigger) has been a game changer for patient education and how they are thinking for themselves. It has given be a HUGE new group of tools to add to my tool box. I loved the simplicity of the strategies and explanations that were very successful. The online platform was awesome for me to watch one time through, take notes and then hear it again, I was able to digest much more info the second time. I like having the online videos & reference that I can look back on at any time. I was able to implement the tools, tips and strategies and had tremendous immediate results with the "overwhelming" acute patient after even watching the first video and crushed it even after just 1 week. I was able to be calm, grounded and more relaxed for the patient during their high stress feeling when they were in a lot of pain. I received my moneys worth/ value in the first week out of the 8 weeks. I loved the course, one of the best ones ever!!"

This program helped me be more structured and systematic when evaluating low back cases. I really liked being able to go through current cases and in general, the course material was great! It’s honestly one of the best courses I have taken and very practical. I love the aspect of taking different approaches and being able to use what is best for each client.
Justin Vaidyan PT, DPT Founder & CEO of Arise Physical Therapy
The program helped to pull me back to the basics and recognize that patterns and lifestyle are super important and usually a better place to start. I was able to recognize things in my patients that I wouldn't notice before and give them easy changes to make to start reducing pain right away. I loved the open conversation and practical application that we can use right away. If you’re on the fence I’d say absolutely do the course, especially if you are a younger clinician. This helps you grow in your critical thinking skills and pattern recognition which will be super beneficial to your long term abilities as a clinician. This was the best CEU course I’ve taken yet.

"Regardless of how confident you feel in treating acute low back pain, you need this course. The value provided by Mez is unbelievable, and the content you have access to is immensely helpful in every possible scenario. Every uncomfortable or uncertain moment you have had when someone is wriggling in pain in your office, Mez has accounted for and covers it in this course. He gives you the playbook to troubleshoot with objectivity rather than guesswork so you can get your patients on the right track faster. The weekly Zoom meetings are incredible, and offer part lecture and part discussion so no question goes unanswered. We dive deep into specific patient presentations from Mez’s clinical experience, and he also provides guidance with real time cases both in the calls, and one on one. Mez brings a level of passion that is special, and having access to the years worth of work he’s done and knowledge he’s acquired should not be passed up. Sign up."

This program gave so much structure to the acute LBP eval! It really helped me to categorize patients systematically while still thinking outside the box for individualized care. What I loved the most was the case studies that were used throughout the program. If you’re on the fence about this course you have to register today! This is one of the best continuing education courses I've ever taken (and I'm a con ed junkie)! I'm someone who used to stress out when I saw an acute low back pain eval on my schedule but now I feel so much more confident and am excited for them. The only question I’m left with is, why aren't they teaching this system in PT school?
Dr. Rachel Jerozal PT, DPT - Founder of Durham Pelvic PT
This course gave me an excellent road map and helped my brain not jump all over the place when someone who has acute back pain comes in the door. Instead of just thinking "AH PRONE EXTENSIONS", it actually helped me ask the right questions, which further helped guide me in what to do on my objective exam. I panic a LOT less, which is amazing. AND I have a lot more confidence when talking with my clients about realistic expectations with their back pain. Even has someone who has been practicing for 9 years, it was so incredibly refreshing to have an instructor who was caring, compassionate, a clear speaker, an expert in the field, and somehow gracefully is capable of blending the art and science of acute low back pain. Mez, truly, your course is SO great. It was so refreshing to have someone remind me that you don't have to be all or nothing. And acute back pain WAS a weak point of mine. Having the online course as a resource that I can refer to, go over, and hone in on, is EVERYTHING. Thank you for being such a brilliant teacher. Your vibe, how you speak, and how you present, it really resonates with me."

Anyone who has patients/clients that come through their practice with lower back pain should absolutely take this course. Ramez is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate clinician. He has done an incredible job at breaking down a comprehensive and actionable approach to working with acute LBP. There is so much value provided with his weekly calls, video lectures and Facebook community. It’s been almost a year since I took his intensive and I continue to refer back to his program. What I also appreciate is that you’re not left hanging on your own after the intensive is over. I couldn’t recommend investing in this program enough.
Megan Brenneck, PTA, LMT, CPT, CFSC Co-Founder of Keep It Moving Physical Therapy & Wellness
This course gave me a greater toolkit for approaching low back pain. I appreciated Mez discussing client cases (even humbly mentioning his errors with patient cases and what the right steps were for correcting these errors). This made this topic more approachable, and normalized the experience of at times feeling overwhelmed by low back pain complexity. I previously did not give as much weight to patients' ergonomic setups and daily activities (or inactivity). This would have decreased the effectiveness of any exercise program, manual technique, or intervention. But because of this, I am able to dramatically decrease low back pain for patients even before "treating" them! If you’re on the fence, all I can say is, DO IT! Definitely worthwhile in learning a quick and easy to understand framework, and super helpful to learn about easy to implement environmental/ergonomic changes individuals can make for big results. Mez synthesizes intelligent approaches with physical therapy techniques with emotionally intelligent leadership with his patient stories, and embodies the art of skillfully coaching patients without overwhelming them with excess information.

Prior to getting the program my evaluations were unstructured and disorganized missing a framework to which I could anchor myself to. After learning the Neuro-ortho framework my treatment flow improved exponentially, I stopped doing guess work and started making sound clinical decisions geared towards resolution. Now I'm way more confident and able to not only guide my patients but make them feel empowered and give them control over their pain. What I loved the most was how Dr Ramez delivers the course. He's the best mentor a clinician could ask for. I felt welcomed despite only having a few years of experience. I felt comfortable asking questions even if they weren't directly related to the course material. All of his feedback for my questions about patients was tangible and easy to implement right away and always got success with them. I would highly recommend joining this program for anyone who wants to develop their clinical skills related to not only management of acute LBP but also a framework for treatments. Dr Ramez's wealth of knowledge goes way beyond LBP. The LBP intensive gave me confidence and reassurance in my decision making process.

"Ramez's ability to simplify an intensive knowledge base with such passion and interpersonal skills creates a gold standard for learning."
