Assessing low back pain is often complex, time-consuming, and full of diagnostic uncertainty. Between red flags, nerve involvement, psychosocial factors, and patient expectations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
This algorithm gives you:
A clear roadmap for your assessment
The ability to stay systematic and confident
A way to save time and reduce missed details
A consistent framework aligned with current best practices (2025)
Perfect for new clinicians who want structure and experienced practitioners who want a quick, reliable reference.
Wilfried Simon or @the.spine.physio is a Physiotherapist & Osteopath. With over 14 years of experience helping people with stubborn spine problems, he’s made it his mission to turn complex back-pain science into practical tools clinicians can actually use.
He runs his own clinic, Recovery Lab Antwerp, and teaches his low back pain course internationally because apparently people in other countries also enjoy simple, effective explanations 😄
Wilfried believes in blending research, clinical experience, and common sense (a rare and underrated combination). His goal? Helping physios and osteos feel more confident, more efficient, and a little less overwhelmed when facing low back pain cases.
He speaks French, English, and Dutch, meaning he can explain sciatica in three languages, equally passionately in each.
Over the years, he’s trained with leading experts in pain management, central sensitization, cognitive functional therapy, and entrapment neuropathies… which basically means he’s spent a lot of time trying to understand why backs misbehave.
If you like learning with a mix of clarity, practicality, and a touch of humor, you’re in the right place. Wilfried’s work is built for real clinics, real patients, and real clinicians who want to level up without getting a headache in the process.
