The first
scientifically validated rehabilitation algorithm for lateral ankle sprains.
A 2-day practical course built on peer-reviewed research — providing a clear, criteria-based system to manage ankle injuries from the assessment table to the pitch.
What is Physiokinetics?
The PHYSIOKINETICS seminar is a two-day hands-on CPD course designed for sports physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists working in professional or semi-professional football.
The course is built directly on peer-reviewed publications and delivers the first scientifically evaluated, criteria-based rehabilitation algorithm specifically developed for lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in football.
Whether you are managing an acute sprain on matchday or planning a structured return-to-competition protocol, PHYSIOKINETICS provides a reproducible, evidence-based system you can apply immediately — in the gym, in the clinic, and on the pitch.
A complete stage-by-stage rehabilitation framework.
By the end of the two days, you will be able to apply a full, stage-by-stage rehabilitation framework for lateral ankle sprains — from initial assessment to return to competition.
- Incidence & prevalence of LAS in professional football
- Mechanisms of injury and structures at risk
- Why recurrence stays high — and how a criteria-based approach changes that
- Hands-on palpation and anatomical identification
- Evidence-based clinical tests to confirm diagnosis and guide decisions
- Scientific clinical examination as a progression tool throughout rehab
- Manual therapy techniques for ankle joint mobilisation
- Latest research on prevention strategies for LAS recurrence
- Practical exercise programme based on a newly developed prevention protocol
- Integration into training load without compromising performance
- Functional performance tests applied and documented at each stage
- Exercise prescription matched to early, mid and late rehab stages
- Progression & regression principles based on objective criteria
- Full algorithm application from early stage to return-to-competition (RTC)
- On-field exercise progressions with progressive loading — football-specific
- Decision criteria for clearing a player for full training and match play
- Muscle Energy Technique to reactivate movement patterns post-injury
- MET integration within the rehabilitation algorithm

You will leave with more than knowledge.
Most courses only teaching information. PHYSIOKINETICS provides a system. By the end of the seminar, you will get:
A decision-making framework you can use from Monday.
Not principles to interpret — a step-by-step, criteria-based algorithm that defines exactly when and how to progress a player through each rehabilitation stage.
Hands-on skills, tested under real conditions.
Two days of practical application — on the pitch, in the gym, with scenarios you actually face in professional football environments.
The evidence behind every decision.
Built on peer-reviewed publications. You will understand not just what to do, but why — and be able to justify it to medical staff, coaches, and clubs.
A reproducible protocol, regardless of resources.
Whether you work at a top-flight club or a semi-professional setup, the algorithm adapts. Consistent outcomes do not require expensive equipment.
Confidence in the most complex cases.
Lateral ankle sprains demonstrate a high recurrence rate up to 70%. After the seminar, you will exactly understand the why – and how to break that cycle.
The bridge between practice and science — built in one weekend.
Based on research.
Built for the pitch.
A practical two-day CPD course for sports physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists in professional football and beyond. Based on peer-reviewed publications, PHYSIOKINETICS delivers the only scientifically validated, criteria-based rehabilitation algorithm for lateral ankle sprains — combining clinical theory, hands-on assessment and on-pitch practice in one intensive weekend.
Delivered by practitioners with over 10 years of experience at the highest levels of professional men’s and women’s football, affiliated with leading European research institutions.
