Doors Open for Cohort 5 on Friday April 4th 2025
The Low Back Pain Intensive
A program designed for ambitious physical therapists to learn exactly how to solve “unfixable” sciatica & low back pain for patients at any age, no matter how acute the pain so they can build the practice of their dreams.
The LBP Intensive is only offered twice a year.
"The LBP Intensive was a miracle! After 30 years in practice, this was a game-changer!
This course provided information and simplicity I've never seen before, and I’ve taken a lot of courses. It boosted our patient rapport and referrals. The value is truly off the charts!"
- Todd Houghton PT, CSCS - Owner & CEO of Houghton Physical Therapy
What A LOT of
brilliant physical therapists do NOT like to talk about…
Is how overwhelming it can be to freeze, like a deer in the headlights, when a patient can’t even get comfortable or off the treatment table because of raging sciatica pain.
Here’s what a lot my clients admit to:
“Sometimes I kinda panic and DREAD when I see these patients on my schedule & my brain turns off!”'
“I can’t stand constantly second guessing myself when these patients walk in… I’m sick of having to reinvent the wheel every session… it’s exhausting”
“I’m not sure why I can get results for some sciatica patients yet others with the same symptoms, get flared up or don’t respond.”
“I notice that these patients cancel/no show A LOT…”
“I get really frustrated when the patient is still in A LOT of pain and I’m not meeting their expectations even though, clinically, I’m doing the best I can… I feel really bad whenever I let my patients down.”
This clinical scenario can have the most seasoned clinician, no matter their credentials or clinical success, questioning themselves and their understanding of back pain rehab.
A BUNCH of Con-Ed Courses Are NOT Equipping Us To Solve this Problem For Our Patients…
The REALLY sad part is A LOT of highly ambitious physical therapists (including myself) who’ve taken a BUNCH of con-ed courses, invested thousands of dollars, and countless hours trying to offer the best possible care for these patients…
STILL feel totally unprepared for the realities of acute spine rehab.
And the last thing we want as physical therapists, is a patient leaving our clinic in even MORE pain, feeling frustrated, angry, and hopeless.
Its a terrible feeling to think you couldn’t help despite all of your knowledge and education…
And it REALLY sucks to know that you’re just another medical professional on their long list of people that couldn’t help them (but you can, and I’m getting to how).
So if you’re feeling even a little bit down for not knowing exactly how to help these patients with overwhelming sciatica… just know that one, PT school didn’t prepare us for this and two, you’re not alone.
To figure this out,
here’s what great
Physical Therapists
(like you) are trying…
McKenzie repeated extensions and hope it works because sometimes it doesn’t work or really flares their symptoms 😬
The McGill Big-3 exercises to “build up their core” but some patients can barely do it without pain and for the patients who can, it doesn’t seem to have any lasting results.
Soft tissue mobs, traction, breathing techniques to help relieve pain & muscle tone but as soon as they try to move, they get this dagger-like pain ⚡️ and can barely get off the table.
K-Tape, Graston Technique, dry needling, cupping, Mulligan/Maitland/ Kaltenbourn joint mobilizations all with some temporary relief, yet now patients expect these passive modalities and its hard to transition to what really matters😑… active care!
Nerve flossing & nerve gliding techniques but too many acute sciatica cases can barely tolerate it and a some get REALLY flared up… so now they shy away from these techniques with those acute cases.
Integrating Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), to teach patients about the amygdala, perception of threat, and how pain is an output of the brain 🧠. Yet all you get is a blank stare &/or the dreaded
“so you’re saying it’s all in my head?” response 😬
“I panic a LOT less, which is amazing! AND I have a lot more confidence when talking with my clients!
This helped my brain not jump all over the place when someone with 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.”
Dr. Kayla Nguyen PT, DPT

The LBP Intensive ends the guessing-game to help you spark your clinical genius & get life changing results your practice & patients deserve.
Here’s what I’m NOT going to do…
❌ I’m NOT going to teach you 😒 “The 3 best sciatica exercises you’re not prescribing” and
❌ I am NOT going to teach you the next era of manual therapy…
Instead,
You’ll learn a simple and clear system that’s way more practical, diverse, and effective than any other sciatica course in the Physical Therapy industry today.
You’ll have a solution for every part of a TOUGH sciatica evaluation.
And everything you’ll learn is extremely adaptable to fit different patient needs & various rehab acronyms (DNS, PRI, SFMA, FRC etc)
You can solve decades of “unfixable” sciatica for patients who have been let down and even gaslit by other medical providers.
AND, you can learn it all without breaking the bank in a residency + 5 weekend courses… even if you’re fresh out of PT school.
“Since The LBP Intensive I’ve had 100% client retention for clients with LBP for a few years now… Once they sign up… they have not left!”
Christopher Lee OTR/L CSCS Owner of Chris Lee Fitness
Imagine 6 Months From Now…👇🏽
You no longer feel anxious or panic 😱 when you see these patients on your schedule, but rather you’re actually excited 😊 because you know exactly what to do and how to pivot even if things don’t go according to plan.
You hear yourself sounding way more confident teaching patients exactly how to re-take control, stop debilitating pain, and what to expect from an ACTIVE plan of care.
You know how to help the most overwhelming acute patients, “who’ve tried everything”, find immediate relief then turn to you and say “where the f**k have you been all my life?”
You communicate your process so clearly that you now attract more patients who want a long-term solution and are getting more quality referrals which has re-ignited the passion for your work!
You can now easily teach this to a colleague or a student and watch them get crazy results too! Which is a whole new world of fulfillment.
If you’re a clinic owner, you now have a standard clinical system that all staff PTs can use to be on the same page when managing acute sciatica cases, regardless of their preferred treatment approach.
You’ve been able to polish your clinic’s continuity of care so that patients can feel that all staff PTs are on the same page about their care, because everyone is speaking the same language.
Your patients are ranting and raving about you, your clinic, and they now refer to you as “The Back Pain Expert” of their community.
You’re no longer second guess your POC every session, trying to re-invent the wheel while searching for random techniques & exercises on the internet hoping for the best.
You know exactly what your patient needs and you know what they DON’T need because you have structured yet flexible system that you can mold to fit your practice style.
THAT is what I’m saying is available to you now… right now.
AND it doesn’t have to take you 1-2 years + thousands of con-ed $$ to figure out.
Become a Back Pain Expert In Your Community Just like Todd & Justin…
“I was able to implement these tools, tips and strategies and had tremendous immediate results with the "overwhelming" acute patient. I have never seen this information even though I’ve been doing this for so long and I’ve taken a lot of con ed courses. The information and the simplicity of how to implement it right away, is a game changer!”
- Todd Houghton PT, CSCS - Owner & CEO of Houghton Physical Therapy
“Since this program, we've been coined the 'low back pain experts' in our area… This was probably one of the best investments I've made for my staff PT and for myself.”
— Justin Vaidyan PT, DPT Founder & CEO of Arise Physical Therapy

Who’s a good fit for The Low Back Pain Intensive™?
You should invest in The LBP Intensive if…
✅ You’re a Physical Therapist who prefers a group learning environment where you can ask questions and discuss tricky patient cases in real time… You don’t do well with just going through an online self-paced course on your own.
✅ You're a relatively new physical therapist (new grad or 1-5 years out of PT school), you’ve taken a bunch of great con-ed courses yet you’re still very uncomfortable when that acute sciatica patient walks into the clinic.
✅ You’re a physical therapy clinic owner and you get OK results but they’re just not as consistent as you’d like.
✅ You’re a physical therapy clinic owner, you don’t have the time to train new staff PTs and develop a clinic standard to manage these acute patients to minimize liability.
✅ You’re a seasoned physical therapist with a lot of experience (practicing for 10-20+ years) and a boat load of con-ed courses under your belt. Your results with these acute patients are a bit more scattered than you’d like and you’re looking for more consistency using a structured yet flexible system that can compliment your practice style.
What You’ll Learn?
✅ How to stop the overwhelming pain science vs biomechanics back and forth drama with the "who’s right & who’s wrong?" non-sense.
✅ How to systematically subcategorize the two main subtypes of mechanical low back pain to make the diagnosis A LOT more specific to what matters to the patient
✅ How to assess the dynamic interplay between the 3 key neuro-musculoskeletal sensitivities without overthinking it & wasting time.
✅ How to interview the patient during the subjective exam without feeling scattered while developing rapport with the patient.
✅ How to find your own physical exam flow so you know exactly what tests to administer in the order that best suits the patient without second guessing yourself.
✅ How to document your eval & diagnosis concisely without fluff so you know exactly where to start next visit.
✅ How to stop overthinking these evals & bullet proof yourself from paralysis by over-analysis.
✅ How to use a simple checklist so you can confidently communicate to your patient, improve buy-in, get better results, and reduce your cancellation rates.
✅ How to ask yourself anchoring questions so you don't end up reinventing the wheel during the eval and follow up visits.
✅ How to problem solve & critically think on your feet through real cases, not just theoretical models.
WHO THE LBP INTENSIVE IS NOT FOR:
It is NOT for all clinician…
and there are a few who SHOULD NOT buy this course.
Please DO NOT invest in The Low Back Pain Intensive™ if any of the following apply to you:
❌ You’re a Physical Therapist who is ONLY interested in learning new exercises & manual techniques.
❌ You’re a physical therapy assistant and NONE of the PTs you work with are interested in taking this course with you… The curriculum is assessment heavy.
❌ You’re a Physical Therapist looking for quick-fix strategies and you’re NOT interested in coaching patients
❌ You’re a Physical Therapist JUST looking to check the box for your PT CEUs requirements.
❌ You're a Physical Therapist interested in bashing other rehab systems for credibility, confrontation & entertainment 👎🏽 (there will be none of that here)
❌ You're a Physical Therapist interested in being "the research p-value police" 🚨
DO NOT invest in The LBP Intensive™ if you can’t get on board with these MUST-HAVE con-ed mindsets 👇🏽
You gotta do the work beyond watching the online videos for intellectual candy!
While I make it as easy and straightforward as possible, if you can't put aside a few hours a week to work through the content, put it into clinical practice, this course is not for you. You have to be willing to apply this content to your patients, fail, reflect, go back to the content, ask questions in the private Facebook group, bring up challenges during the group calls, and try again and again and again… this is what it takes to excel in our line of work and if you’re not willing to do that then The LBP Intensive™ is simply not for you.
Don’t expect to be able to help EVERY patient with ONE system alone!
The best clinicians I know are well versed in various models and no matter what anyone tells you there is no rehab model that has ALL the answers. The same principle applies to The LBP Intensive™ system. What I can promise you is that if you follow the step-by-step system laid out in this course, you’ll finally be able to understand why some patients respond better to certain rehab methods and why others don’t while allowing you to tap into your own clinical creativity.
“The LBP Intensive has led to more referrals which has been a really cool process to see. I feel like we keep getting more of those back pain patients because we’ve become more efficient at treating them.
It helped our team better communicate with patients from the get-go using the educational visuals that helped breakdown the process & expectations around ‘set backs’.
9 months later we’re still using this system, we’ve used it to onboard a new PT, and as a team it is now a part of the standard of the way we practice.
This is worth it 100 million percent!”
Dr. Kelsey Lynch PT, DPT, CSCS
Clinic Director at Arise Physical Therapy

My patients are happy, bought in to our plan…. Learning new approaches to performing the subjective and objective exams, has made me excited to see these types of cases on my schedule for the first time in years!”
Dr. Clark Berger, PT, DPT
Clinic Manager & Clinical Education Coordinator
“I use to stress out when I saw an acute low back pain eval on my schedule… but now I feel so much more confident & excited for them!
"This gave me a systematic framework for acute sciatica/LBP but even more than that, the framework allowed me to see the "clinical why" behind these patients' symptoms and how we could move forward in a way that I have never seen before, and I take A LOT of con ed courses!...
The only question I’m left with is, why aren't they teaching this system in PT school!?"

A little about the Instructor
Dr. Ramez Antoun PT, DPT, OMT, IPNFA
Hey! I’m Ramez, but please call me "Mez". I'm a physical therapist & strength coach specializing in back pain rehab. I’m best known for my unmatched ability to integrate orthopedics, neuro PT, and strength & conditioning in simple yet actionable ways for physical therapists at any level.
I’ve been a consultant to a Major League Baseball organization, a private hospital, various elite athletes ranging from martial artists, runners, weightlifters, and powerlifters.
With the PT industry becoming more divided by contrarians and overcomplicated gurus, I’m deeply committed to teaching physical therapists practical info to help them see past the industry bullshit to stop wasting their time/energy, con-ed $$ and get real results.
I’ve developed a simple system that will spark your clinical creativity, get your patients results that last, and elevate your career.

“In terms of business success, I have more revenue just from the fact that there’s more consistency in my visits & follow ups because I now have a better framework for how long it will take for someone to not just get out of pain but also build capacity in terms of tissue resilience.
One of the biggest things is I’m now able to teach people how to self-manage their LBP and that’s been really powerful because even if they have a flare-up they know what to do.
One of the best programs I have ever done. Right away we’re given tangible information to implement from the start.

What clinicians are saying...
This program helped me be more structured and systematic when evaluating low back cases. 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 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.
Dr. Kelsey Lynch PT, DPT, CSCS
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. 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
"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. 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."
- Dr. Britt Smith, PT, DPT, LMT, CLT, CFSC
Co-Founder of Keep It Moving Physical Therapy & Wellness
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."
- Dr. Kayla Nguyen PT, DPT owner of Rise Physio & Performance
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. I loved the course, one of the best ones ever!!"
- Todd Houghton PT, CSCS - Owner & CEO of Houghton Physical Therapy (Practicing PT & clinic owner for 20+ years)
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.
Christopher Lee OTR/L CSCS - Owner of Chris Lee Fitness
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 would highly recommend 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 program gave me confidence and reassurance in my decision making process.
Amin szymaniak LMT Owner of Lionheart Performance Lab
"Ramez's ability to simplify an intensive knowledge base with such passion and interpersonal skills creates a gold standard for learning."
- Dr. Zak Gabor PT, DPT, CSCS, USA-W, Founder of The LevelUp Initiative
"I’ve become more well-rounded in my thinking strategies and clinical reasoning, and I’ve been able to be more creative in my treatment sessions. Ramez’s ability to ask great questions and help problem solve is top notch."
- Dr. Danielle Honnett PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS
"I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to put skills you already have into a model that works better for you."
- Dr. Nate Felton PT, DPT
"Before this course, I was at a loss with these REALLY acute low back pain patients because everything hurt... Typically I'd end up referring them out. But when imaging came back negative, I would chalk it up to "pain science" when our PT sessions 'caused a flare up'... This content has helped me understand why & filled in those gaps beautifully."
— Anonymous PT (not actual photo)
"This course is amazing. Best class I've taken in such a long time."
— Michele PT, ATC (Practicing for 32 years - Not actual photo)
