WHAT IS AN OPS POSTURAL ASSESSMENT ?

ANALYSIS OF THE BODY AS A WHOLE

ANALYSIS OF THE BODY AS A WHOLE

Some medical treatments are insufficient because they act symptomatically.

The OPS postural assessment aims to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the body as a whole. It has the relevance of coupling static and dynamic biomechanical analyses of the whole body.

THE DETECTION OF THE CAUSES OF YOUR PAIN

The OPS assessment is a Swiss method of analysis that helps to find the causes of body imbalances in posture and movement. This analysis is carried out by a certified orthokinesic specialist.

Curative or preventive

Curative or preventive ?

The added value of an OPS postural assessment is both curative and preventive.

In order to avoid muscular and/or joint injuries, it is essential to respect the body's balance.

This method makes it possible to anticipate possible posture problems and their repercussions. The OPS postural assessment is suitable for children, adolescents, adults, seniors and sportsmen and women.

Research and development

Thanks to its scientific researchers, the OPS Clinic has developed high-tech tools for the analysis of human biomechanics. The OPS postural assessment consists of analyses of posture, walking, running, back, feet, eyes, jaws...

THE OPS POSTURAL ASSESSMENT IN 6 STEPS

POSTURE ANALYSIS
POSTURE ANALYSIS

POSTURE ANALYSIS

Static and three-dimensional study of posture. This analysis allows us to analyse body deformations in a global vision.

BACK ANALYSIS
BACK ANALYSIS

BACK ANALYSIS

Static and dynamic study of the back in order to know the deformations and the vertebral stages in loss of mobility. This examination can detect hypermobile compensation zones generated by other hypomobile levels.

EXAMINATION OF THE FOOT
EXAMINATION OF THE FOOT

EXAMINATION OF THE FOOT

Static and dynamic study of the feet in order to define their muscular and articular functions.

MOVEMENT ANALYSIS
MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

Global study of posture in movement in order to detect muscular, articular and proprioceptive deficiencies whether in descending, ascending or mixed chains.

ANALYSIS OF THE JAW AND THE EYES
ANALYSIS OF THE JAW AND THE EYES

ANALYSIS OF THE JAW AND THE EYES

Functional examination of the jaw joint and a study of oculomotor coordination. Jaw and eye disorders can lead to an imbalance in head posture, which in the long run can lead to descending chain compensation.

EVALUATION

The analyses carried out will be evaluated in order to create a detailed postural assessment, useful for the patient and the therapists in charge of monitoring his health.

OPS REPORT AND FOLLOW-UP

The results of the OPS postural assessment are transcribed in a report. This report (digital or written) can be transmitted at the patient's request. The information gathered in this report is very useful for the patient, his therapist and all other health professionals who accompany him.

TREATMENTS, ADVICE, SOLUTIONS

After detecting postural dysfunctions, our therapists propose the appropriate orthokinesic treatment to their patients.

CONTROL OF EACH ASSESSMENT

After each OPS postural assessment, our therapeutic unit consults internally in order to propose the best treatment. Since 2002, our patients benefit from the professional experience of our OPS team, composed of orthopaedists, chiropodists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, dentists, posturologists, all specialised in orthokinesy. This analysis, corroborated by the analysis of the orthokinesist, allows each patient to know the scientific vision of different health professionals specialised in human biomechanics.
