The OTTE Method
Re-educating the Body Through Movement

I have been part of the OPS Clinic network since 2019. I met Christophe Otte that year, and it completely transformed the way I work. Already trained in posturology, I was looking for a more dynamic and comprehensive method. Through the OPS Clinic, I discovered an analytical approach that truly resonated with me. The interdisciplinary perspective, combining neurophysiology and biomechanics, makes patient management structured and holistic. The custom therapeutic tools enable coherent postural reprogramming. Christophe is one of my mentors—he has profoundly influenced my understanding of the human body.

The OTTE Method truly opened my eyes. As a movement coach, I found an approach that perfectly aligns with the way I think. For the first time, we don’t block the body—we re-educate it, we reactivate it. Each orthokinetic solution brings the body back into motion with remarkable postural responses. This method, alive and respectful of physiology, encourages a deeper understanding of the body. It has allowed me to guide people more accurately toward balance, mobility, and confidence. You come away transformed, with a new vision of the body and rehabilitation.

After two years working with orthokinesy, I have been able to improve the management of patients suffering from chronic pain. Dynamic postural assessment makes it possible to lay the foundations of our treatment. Active orthopedic tools provide daily stimulation of disrupted sensory receptors (plantar, mandibular, ocular). Orthokinetic manipulation sessions help normalize joint and muscular dysfunctions. The method complements my practice in physiotherapy and osteopathy. OPS assessments help guide patients toward my conventional therapies (osteopathy and physiotherapy). A truly global approach to care.

What appealed to me most is that the approach is based on the natural movement of the foot, physiological capacities, biomechanical laws, and the adaptive potential of training, while respecting the body’s ability to recover. Despite my background as a coach, sports rehabilitation specialist, and physiotherapist, it was difficult for me to treat foot-related pathologies. Orthokinesy training allowed me to complete my knowledge. In a way, orthokinesy makes it possible to return to a more natural functioning of the body. In summary, the training gave me a more global view of the patient, helped me understand their pain, and enabled me to treat it effectively.

As a physiotherapist and osteopath working with high-level athletes as well as non-athletic patients, I long searched for a postural approach that truly took into account the fact that patients—athletes or not—are in motion. Until then, most posturology approaches were limited to producing so-called “postural” insoles, based solely on static assessments or simplified dynamic weight-bearing analyses. Considering that the foot acts as the body’s shock absorber, analyzing this function—along with the use of the plantar activator, very often combined with an active oral orthosis—has revolutionized my daily practice. It has brought relief and reduced consultation frequency for the majority of my patients who previously experienced recurrences despite well-conducted treatment.

I am a physiotherapist in France and completed the orthokinesy training in February 2015. Astonishing, impressive, simple, accessible, effective, and clear—everything one can expect from a high-quality training program. Practical and friendly, encouraging exchanges between practitioners. The instructors are approachable, open-minded, and have complete mastery of their subject. A training course I highly recommend!

Orthokinesy is a highly effective technique for releasing muscular tension in dynamic conditions. Recreating the painful movement makes it much easier to identify these painful tensions. It is a very useful tool, especially for athletes—I use it every day!
