Posturology Training: Become an Expert in Postural Imbalances with the OTTE Method

Why Train in Posturology?

Are you an osteopath, podiatrist, physiotherapist, physician, strength and conditioning coach, or healthcare practitioner? Are you looking for posturology training that enables you to understand, diagnose, and treat postural imbalances using an innovative method?

Posturology is a key clinical discipline for healthcare professionals who want to go beyond symptom management and address the root causes of chronic pain (low back pain, neck pain, vertigo, instability). However, most training programs are limited to a static approach, analyzing posture only in standing or sitting positions, without considering real movement—where imbalances truly emerge.

Our posturology training, based on the OTTE method and orthokinesy, offers a dynamic and multidisciplinary approach, recognized for its clinical effectiveness. Using innovative tools such as the OPS software (high-precision 3D biomechanical analysis), ortho-dynamic straps, and custom-made active postural insoles, you will learn how to re-educate posture in movement, achieving sustainable and measurable results.

The Evolution of Posturology: Toward a Dynamic and Multidisciplinary Approach

Static posturology, which is widely taught and practiced, has laid the essential foundations of postural analysis. It is based on tools such as the podoscope, clinical tests (Romberg test, finger pointing test), and corrective solutions (orthopedic insoles, orthoses). These methods have proven effective in assessing and compensating for imbalances in a standing position.

However, advances in biomechanics and neuroscience have shown that postural imbalances are not limited to static posture. In fact, 80% of postural disorders (chronic pain, instability, compensatory patterns) manifest during movement: walking, running, sports gestures, or occupational activities.

It is within this context that Orthokinesy emerged—a logical evolution of posturology that integrates dynamic movement to provide a comprehensive and active approach to managing postural imbalances.

1. A Comprehensive Analysis: Static AND Dynamic

Static Posturology: A First Level of Analysis

Static posturology makes it possible to identify imbalances in a standing position, such as:

Example: A patient suffering from chronic low back pain may present an asymmetry in weight distribution in a static position, revealed by a podoscope. This initial analysis is essential for understanding basic compensatory patterns.

The Contribution of Orthokinesy: Dynamic Analysis

Orthokinesy complements this approach by adding movement analysis, where imbalances truly become apparent. Using tools such as the OPS software (3D motion analysis), it becomes possible to identify:

Clinical example: A rugby player suffering from post-traumatic vertigo consults for frequent falls. A static assessment reveals no abnormalities, but a dynamic analysis (using OPS software) highlights a vestibular compensation deficit during changes of direction. Thanks to dynamic rehabilitation, his symptoms resolved within six weeks.

The OTTE Method: A Revolution in Posturology

The OTTE method represents a major advancement in the field of posturology. Unlike traditional approaches, which are often limited to static analysis and passive solutions (such as conventional orthopedic insoles), the OTTE method integrates movement and offers active, personalized solutions to correct postural imbalances.

Thanks to three-dimensional biomechanical analysis (via the OPS software), the OTTE method makes it possible to:

3D Biomechanical Analysis

The orthokinesist relies on a three-dimensional biomechanical analysis using the OPS software, a true “scanner of the body in motion.”

Rather than correcting what appears abnormal, the practitioner seeks to understand why the body is organized this way and what it reveals about the overall imbalance.

This postural assessment makes it possible to identify:

Example of application: A runner suffering from knee pain can have their running pattern analyzed in 3D, revealing excessive pronation or a pelvic imbalance that can be corrected through targeted exercises.

Active, Non-Compensatory Rehabilitation

The goal of orthokinesy is not to compensate for dysfunctions, but to re-educate the body’s adaptive mechanisms.

To achieve this, it mobilizes precise levers that are consistent with each therapeutic profile:

Result: Your patients regain a natural posture without relying on external compensations.

FAQ – Posturology Training

What Is a Postural Assessment?

A postural assessment is a comprehensive clinical examination that analyzes a patient’s postural imbalances. It includes the evaluation of postural sensors (feet, eyes, TMJ, proprioception), static and dynamic tests, as well as the identification of dysfunctions that generate chronic pain and instability. Our training teaches you how to master the complete postural assessment using the OPS software and the protocols of the OTTE method.

How to Become a Certified Posturologist?

To become a posturologist, you must be a healthcare professional (physiotherapist, osteopath, physician, podiatrist, orthoptist) and complete specialized training in clinical posturology. Our certifying training in orthokinesy enables you to acquire all the necessary skills: postural diagnosis, active postural rehabilitation, and the use of innovative tools such as active postural insoles.

What Is the Difference Between Static and Dynamic Posturology?

Static posturology analyzes posture in fixed positions (standing, sitting), whereas dynamic posturology (orthokinesy) studies postural imbalances during movement. This dynamic approach reveals dysfunctions that are invisible in static assessments and enables more effective and long-lasting postural rehabilitation.

How Long Does the Complete Training Program Last?

The complete orthokinesy training program is delivered through progressive modules combining theory, hands-on practice (over three days), and e-learning, for a total of 52 hours of video content accessible via a dedicated platform.

Conclusion: Orthokinesy, a Natural Evolution of Posturology
