OPS CLINIC, SPECIALISTS IN ORTHOKINESY

OPS Clinic is a group of paramedical practices composed of certified orthokinesic therapists, specialised in the 3 distinct fields of orthopaedics, posturology and sports therapy.

Created in 2002 by Christophe Otte, OPS Clinic brings together the experience and know-how of the various medical professions specialised in human biomechanics (kinesitherapy/physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropody, orthopaedics, posturology, dentistry, logopaedics and orthoptics). Its aim is to provide the best diagnosis and therapeutic care for patients with postural pain.

From this was born orthokinesy, the first therapy that links together the knowledge of these different medical professions, through the analysis and treatment of both static posture and body dynamics.
Fondateur Clinique OPS
Christophe Otte
Founder OPS Clinic - Orthokinesy
"From a very young age, I have been passionate about the art of manipulating and placing fixations. My great example was my maternal grandmother (a chiropractor) who, in an ancestral manner, practiced a wide variety of manipulations (the most specific among which was dynamic) and the application of elastic or rigid straps. So, in my childhood, I was able to observe I started studying kinesitherapy/physiotherapy out of admiration and because I needed to understand those phenomena. Later, I also studied osteopathy, chiropody and orthopaedics in order to perfect my understanding of body biomechanics. Then I specialised in posturology, postural manual therapy and sports pathologies.
Nevertheless, in spite of these various trainings, some questions persisted. I would even say that I had more questions than before.br>
The practice helped me enormously to better understand the human body. First of all, I applied what I had learnt, but very soon observed the limits of each of the therapies I practiced. I was also fortunate to share and benefit from the knowledge of my close family, my mother (chiropodist), my father (doctor of veterinary medicine, passionate about animal and human biomechanics), and both my brothers (a doctor of dentistry and a specialized educator).

Over the years, I succeeded to create links between each profession and the therapeutic methods of my family heritage. This is how I was able to conceive a complete rehabilitation method ranging from analysis to orthodynamic postural treatments: orthokinesy.

This method was designed with the aim of bringing together the knowledge of the different medical professions specialised in human biomechanics. To make this possible, it was necessary to challenge all my ingrained professional prejudices and to discover the links that unite each of these professions.

At present, I am surrounded by numerous extremely competent health professionals. We are pooling our knowledge and experience to ensure the continuity and development of orthokinesy with the sole aim of effectively relieving our patients of their ailments".

OUR MISSION

"Improving the quality of life of our patients through orthokinesy".

At OPS Clinic, we believe that everyone should enjoy life thanks to an energetic and healthy body. We bring together the best specialists and technologies in human biomechanics to make posture correction procedures accessible to everyone. Since 2002, many patients could be relieved of their ailments, while regaining body fluidity in their daily movements. As a world leader in ACTIVE orthopaedics, we take care of our patients in a global, static and dynamic way, and we ensure a follow-up adapted to each individual.

OPS Clinic is committed to continue investing in research and development in order to fulfil its mission of improving the quality of life of its patients. To this end, we develop biomechanical analysis tools and orthokinesy treatments that define standards of care. The purpose is to prevent, treat or rehabilitate pathologies of the locomotor system.

Promoting and restoring an active life means for instance that a grandparent is able again to hold their grandchildren in their arms or that a runner succeeds to complete his first marathon. We want to be your partner in realising your life dreams, by proposing you a unique approach tailored to each person.

OUR VISION

"Improving health care through prevention, quality and innovation".

Since 2002, OPS Clinic has been pursuing its mission to make this vision a reality. Our goal is to foster a patient-centred culture that focuses on patient satisfaction, maintenance of clinical quality and providing effective therapeutic care.

OUR COMBAT

"Promoting prevention and a global therapeutic vision of the body".

Eighty percent of the population suffers from physical pain due to disorders of posture or body dynamics. Standing and walking in an unbalanced body promotes asymmetrical tension in the muscles and causes joint wear and tear over time.

Medicine has developed so well over the last century that life expectancy has increased dramatically. Living longer is the wish of all of us, but of course we want to live longer in a good physical condition.

Science has proven that physical activity improves the cardiovascular system and general immunity. The practice of physical activities such as walking and running has exploded as never before. However, they cause joint and muscle traumas in people with biomechanical deficiencies, i.e. 4 out of 5 people suffering from pain on a daily basis. On the other hand, most medical treatments are insufficient because they act symptomatically.

Through this observation, we aim to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the body as a whole. Our orthokinesic assessment, also called ‘OPS postural assessment’, has the relevance of coupling static and dynamic biomechanical analyses of the whole body in order to detect the disturbing causes which are responsible of maintaining pain.

Our health systems are designed to offer treatment when pain appears. But, unfortunately, it is often too late then! We are convinced that we must focus on the source by carrying out preventive biomechanical assessments.

From the age of 4 years, it is possible to detect mechanical disturbances whatever their origin: genetics, bad footwear... and thus avoid suffering in adulthood. At OPS Clinic, we want to change mentalities and relieve people of avoidable physical suffering.

Our team and our partners daily perform their duties with the conviction that the mentality of today's health systems can evolve towards prevention and a global therapeutic vision of the body.

OUR VALUES

PASSION

All members of the OPS team share the same passion: human biomechanics. We strive to understand the functioning of the human body in its static, but still more in its dynamic aspects.

Our philosophy : treating movement through movement. We therefore make every effort to find ‘ACTIVE’ treatments that can address dynamic postural deficiencies.

INNOVATION

To improve the care of our patients, we are constantly looking for innovative ways. Our philosophy encourages creativity, and provides us with the courage and perseverance to transform ideas into therapeutic masterpieces. We grow year after year by learning from our successes and doubts. Doubts are useful, they serve to challenge ourselves !

Thanks to the ‘Association de Posturologie Ortho-Dynamique’ (APOD), we benefit from the best research and development services ranging from diagnosis to treatment.

Biomechanics laboratory

We are constantly involved in the search for efficient and applicable analysis tools in our paramedical practices. Our engineers develop highly sophisticated computer software that allows us to target the smallest biomechanical flaws in our patients. This software is constantly on the lookout for what the human eye cannot perceive.
Therapeutic research laboratories

The least we can say is that inspiration quickly turns into medical innovations and generates a constant improvement in therapeutic solutions. We therefore closely work together with an engineering department that already holds several patents.

There are only 3 laboratories in the world capable of producing active orthopaedic solutions: Kinepod, Orthes and Tedop.

Thanks to cutting-edge technology, therapeutic solutions are evaluated in a virtual environment. Then, after many meticulous examinations, these solutions are tested on mechanical substitutes. The path from design to validation of a treatment for our patients may seem long, but it is of great necessity to obtain unequalled therapeutic quality.

We have to admit that the credit is not entirely ours. Our treatments are refined and improved thanks to findings from the medical world. This is why we also do literature research and closely follow medical scientific developments.

The sharing of all this knowledge and the welcoming of new therapists involved in the evolution of the method has led to the creation of the ‘Orthokinésie International Academy’, a training organisation at the cutting edge of postural and dynamic evolution.

OPS clinic innovates by setting up a system of counter-analysis of all the assessments carried out among all its clinicians. After each OPS assessment, our therapeutic unit consults with each other to propose the best treatment.

Our patients therefore benefit from the professional experience of our OPS team, composed of orthopaedists, chiropodists, kinesitherapists/physiotherapists, osteopaths, dentists, posturologists, all specialised in orthokinesy.
QUALITY

Our patients come first. We strive to provide them with quality services and treatment as quickly as possible. We are privileged to be their partner in health and thank them for this by treating them with respect and compassion. The relief of their ailments and their satisfaction are among our priorities.

To achieve this, we are dedicated to the constant search for excellence in the services we provide.

INTEGRITY

Credibility is the key to our success. That is why all our processes, decisions and actions are guided by integrity. Honesty and candour are our watchwords, both towards the patient himself and among professionals.

There is nothing like experiencing a method personally in order to master it in depth and to apply it properly. This is why all our therapists and their families are treated with orthokinesy.

COLLABORATION

The treatments provided at OPS Clinic are based on the application of internationally recognised best practices. We strive to constantly improve all aspects of therapeutic care, by further making thrive our collective expertise.

We strive for excellence by putting collective goals ahead of personal interests. We ensure meaningful cooperation between colleagues from diverse backgrounds and medical disciplines to enable one single inter-professional language.

Le leadership

Both as a company and as individuals, we strive to be the best at what we do.
Courage, competence, confidence and a passion for exceeding expectations are the leadership qualities we adopt.
