The Fundamentals of Sciatica is for Sports Physical Therapists who:
✅ Struggle communicating to patients in a REALLY acute episode of LBP/sciatica where everything hurts so much that they perseverate into negative thought spirals and start asking if they’re going to need surgery and if they’re going to end up like their grandma who never recovered from their back injury 😰
✅ Get overwhelmed trying to filter through all the rehab methods they’ve learned i.e repeated extensions, soft tissue work, dry needling, mobilize vs bracing…
✅ Have a hard time balancing self-care education about potential pain sources without fear mongering while also managing the preconceived ideas the patient already has.
✅ Struggle with clinical decision making and knowing exactly where to start to get immediate relief without creating dependency.
✅ Are confused why McKenzie approach’s works wonders with some cases yet not with others.
✅ Who want to develop better pattern recognition with really flared up LBP patients so that they can determine the best interventions that minimize harm while providing immediate results
Who I am & why I built this course…
Dr. Ramez Antoun PT, DPT, OMT, IPNFA
Course Instructor & Founder
Hey! I’m Ramez, but please call me "Mez". I'm a physical therapist & strength coach who specializes in back pain rehab. I’ve been a practicing clinician for over a decade.
I completed a neurological residency (+ pain neuroscience focus) at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Vallejo, CA and a two year orthopedic fellowship through The Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (IOMT)
I’ve been a consultant to a Major League Baseball organization, private hospital, and various elite athletes ranging from martial artists to powerlifters.
I’m best known for my unmatched ability to integrate ortho, strength & conditioning, and neuro PT into simple frameworks that physical therapists at any level can implement right away.
If you’re frustrated with acute sciatica cases for whatever reason… you’re definitely not alone because PT school & most con-ed courses fail to prepare us for these cases.
When patients are in raging acute pain they’re typically poor historians which can make the subjective & objective exam overwhelming and a bit scattered.
I vividly remember my first acute sciatica eval. It made me want to puke because of how uncomfortable I was.
I just wanted to rush through the subjective exam because of how uncomfortable & unproductive it was. I just wanted get to where I was more comfortable… movement and the physical exam.
But when I got to the objective exam, the patient couldn't even get comfortable...
EVERY. SINGLE. THING. HURT! Repeated extensions hurt. Traction hurt.
I thought to myself, “Isn’t traction suppose to help? How do I document that? Where do I start?”
I tried to whip out some pain science 🧠 education, but that didn’t go over so well…
I knew there had to be a better way to help these people, so I committed my career to figuring out how to solve these cases for my patients.
I’ve been a clinical mentor for over a decade now and I can’t stand watching the PT industry becoming more divided by contrarian gurus overcomplicating everything. Meanwhile, healthcare and PT education continues to fail us and these patients.
That’s exactly why I’m on a mission to share this system with as many clinicians as possible.
So before you give up on these patients or invest in yet another expensive con-ed course, I have a proposal for you….

Be able to immediately identify the 3 most common patterns of acute radiculopathies like a sore thumb using real case studies so you never miss the obvious diagnosis again.
Seamlessly switch back & forth between pain neuroscience & biomechanics during self-care education so instead of an “eye roll”, patients actually take action and experience results because they get it.
Understand the unique neurophysiology of lumbar nerve roots so you know exactly what’s going on, what to do about it, and how to explain it to patients in a simple, actionable way.
