Train in dynamic posturology and gain access to a new way of treating your patients.
Orthokinesy is a unique method that corrects posture where it is built: in movement. Developed by Christophe OTTE, it integrates the body sciences (osteopathy, podiatry, physiotherapy, posturology, etc.) to offer an active, sustainable, and science-based approach to rehabilitation.
It was by vocation that Christophe Otte embarked on studies in physiotherapy/physical therapy, osteopathy, orthopedics, podiatry, and other specializations aimed at understanding and treating the human body. Through these diverse trainings, he quickly realized that it was essential to analyze the body as a dynamic whole in order to understand the origin of pain and to treat it through the postural injurious movement itself, allowing the body to regain dynamic fluidity.
Based on these observations, in 2002 he challenged traditional posturology by integrating the dynamic aspect. Orthokinesy was born, becoming ortho-dynamic posturology. This therapeutic discipline analyzes and treats both human posture and the coordination of movement.
Orthokinesy (the OTTE Method) is a dynamic postural approach created by Christophe Otte, based on a deep conviction: movement is treated through movement. It relies on an analysis of the body under load and in motion—where true functional imbalances actually arise.
Unlike traditional approaches focused on static posture or isolated symptoms, Orthokinesy offers a global and active interpretation of the body.
Rather than compensating, it aims to stimulate adaptive mechanisms in order to promote long-lasting rehabilitation.
The method is built on three complementary pillars:
Orthokinesy does not replace any discipline. It creates a common language based on dynamic posture and connects therapeutic approaches around a shared goal: achieving lasting correction while respecting the body’s functional logic.
Discover an innovative approach built on four key pillars that redefine your therapeutic practice.
Orthokinesy does not replace any profession; it connects them. Designed as a method of interdisciplinary coherence, it builds bridges between approaches that are sometimes fragmented—physiotherapy, osteopathy, podiatry, orthopedics, posturology, dentistry, speech therapy/logopedics, sports coaching—to create a shared language centered on the body in motion. By shedding light on the points of friction between these disciplines, the OTTE Method provides a common framework of understanding, making assessments and interventions more logical, more fluid, and above all, truly complementary.
At the heart of Orthokinesy, the OTTE Method views the body as an integrated whole, where every part is interconnected and where an imbalance can have distant repercussions. By incorporating both the static and dynamic dimensions of movement, this approach enables comprehensive and coherent patient care, respects individual uniqueness, and promotes long-lasting rebalancing.
Orthokinesy goes beyond visible symptoms to identify deep underlying bodily imbalances. By combining in-depth clinical expertise with high-precision digital analyses, this approach brings together static and dynamic postural assessments to detect the true functional disruptors. It thus enables targeted, long-lasting, and personalized care.
Originally designed to enhance the performance of elite athletes, Orthokinesy quickly proved its effectiveness far beyond the sports field. Today, this dynamic postural rebalancing method is intended for everyone—from high-demand athletes to individuals dealing with chronic pain or disorders. It democratizes access to optimal posture by offering personalized care tailored to individual needs at every stage of life.

The OPS postural assessment provides a three-dimensional evaluation of the body in both static stance and dynamic movement.
Using an advanced 3D motion capture system, the software identifies functional imbalances, restricted segments, intersegmental compensations, and guides the corrective strategy. Even the most experienced clinical eye cannot detect certain deep asymmetries or dynamic instabilities.
Through clinical 3D Motion Capture specifically designed for the orthokinesy dynamic postural protocol, practitioners can visualise in real time disturbances that remain invisible during conventional examination.
Today, OPS stands as the reference analytical tool in orthokinesy.
Exceptional offer: with a rental value of €500 per month, the Clinique OPS software is currently provided free of charge to new practitioners trained in the OTTE Method.
A rare opportunity to integrate an advanced analytical tool, fully aligned with the orthokinesy approach, enabling practitioners to reveal, understand, and treat dysfunctions with unprecedented precision.
In orthokinesy, manual therapy is not performed on an immobile body, but in full motion. This dynamic approach transforms traditional techniques by intervening directly on soft tissues while they are moving, at the core of their real-time tension patterns. The objective: to correct dysfunctional movement patterns while respecting the body’s active physiology.
By integrating the natural tonic variations of tissues during activity — rather than at rest — this method enables highly precise tissue adjustment with immediate neuromotor integration. The body does not undergo a correction; it experiences it, assimilates it, and reintegrates it into its motor schema.
Applied in standing position, under load, in motion, or at rest, this technique engages all anatomical layers, from the fascial plane to the articular plane. It releases range-of-motion restrictions without spinal thrust manipulation and proves equally effective in acute conditions (acute torticollis, sudden joint lock) as well as chronic disorders (tendinopathies, low back pain).
Particularly indicated for athletes and active patients, orthokinesy manual therapy follows a global body readjustment logic — from head to toe — promoting movement that is more fluid, more accurate, and more sustainable.
At the core of the OTTE Method, orthokinesy integrates patented posturo-dynamic orthopaedic solutions specifically developed to meet the demands of real, functional movement. These podal, maxillofacial, and oculomotor tools do not merely correct a fixed posture; they act dynamically, in synergy with the patient’s neuromuscular chains and individual postural preferences.
The result of rigorous interdisciplinary collaboration (physiotherapists, podiatrists, orthopaedic specialists, dentists, osteopaths, and other movement professionals), these devices allow highly precise adaptation of treatment to each biomechanical profile — whether for elite athletes or everyday patients.
These tools have contributed to the recognition of orthokinesy within professional sports environments, where their impact on performance optimisation and injury prevention is now well established. Today, the same solutions are accessible to all patients managed by certified orthokinesy practitioners, delivering measurable, durable, and individualised outcomes.
The training programme enables practitioners to understand the precise indications, limitations, and therapeutic potential of each orthokinesy orthopaedic tool, ensuring their thoughtful and strategic integration into clinical practice.
Working with ortho-dynamic straps consists of activating the body in an intelligent and targeted manner. Widely adopted in elite sports and functional physical conditioning environments, this innovative method enables active postural readjustment through the use of modular elastic straps, adaptable to the specific needs of each individual.
Through precise proprioceptive stimulation, it proves particularly effective for:
Reprogramming a sports-specific gesture, correcting asymmetry, or optimising a motor pattern
Stimulating deficient postural muscle chains by enhancing tone and coordination
Its impact extends beyond performance enhancement. This technique also presents relevant clinical applications in orthopaedics — particularly in the management of scoliosis — and in neurology, where it contributes to improving movement quality in patients with multiple sclerosis, hemiplegia, or other neuromotor disorders.
