What ITMP - Institut de Thérapie Manuelle et Physiothérapie does

ITMP (Institut de Thérapie Manuelle et Physiothérapie) is a French private continuing education organization founded in 2000 by Xavier Dufour, headquartered in Vitry-sur-Seine, that delivers evidence-based professional training to licensed physiotherapists (kinésithérapeutes DE) across Metropolitan France and the French overseas territories (DOM-TOM). The company operates 12 physical training centers — in Paris/Vitry, Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice, Rennes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lille/Amiens, Corsica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and La Réunion — staffed by 60+ instructors delivering 75+ training themes spanning orthopedic manual therapy, sports physiotherapy, ergonomics, pelvi-perineology, pediatrics, dry-needling, Pilates, clinical posturology, paramedical hypnosis, and maxillo-facial rehabilitation.

The technology backbone consists of an e-learning digital platform delivering asynchronous video, audio, QCM assessments, and interactive content with 6-month per-module access, supplemented by a mobile application and the Major Mouvement YouTube channel for content distribution. The Acad\u00e9mie ITMP provides literature reviews, publications, reference books, and quizzes, while a public Annuaire directory of certified practitioners integrates with Doctolib for patient appointment booking. ITMP holds ISO 9001:2015 and Qualiopi certifications plus Datadocké registration, which are mandatory prerequisites for accessing French state-funded continuing education reimbursement through FIF PL and DPC programs.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-course tuition fees for in-person training and e-learning subscriptions, with pricing determined per program and largely eligible for FIF PL/DPC reimbursement. The business model is sales-led, targeting practicing physiotherapists through direct website enrollment, professional networking (LinkedIn), industry events (Salon Rééduca), webinars, content marketing (YouTube/Major Mouvement), and partnerships with complementary platforms (Doctolib, Weasyo, Physiotutors). Over 12,500 physiotherapists have been trained cumulatively, including 2,909 in 2023, with an 18.2/20 average satisfaction score from 2,226 trainees in 2025. ITMP self-identifies as the #1 provider of manual therapy and physiotherapy continuing education in France and DOM-TOM.
