The Guy Postiaux method taught by Stéphane Otto around the world.
A world reference in airway clearance and lung auscultation, the method developed by Guy Postiaux has transformed the practice of paediatric and adult respiratory physiotherapy. For more than two decades, Stéphane Otto, a physiotherapist who graduated from ULiège, has been teaching this method to practitioners in Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa.
A world reference
Guy Postiaux — the architect of a new paradigm.
Guy Postiaux is one of the most influential figures in contemporary respiratory physiotherapy. His work on lung auscultation, the analysis of respiratory sounds and modulated airway clearance techniques now forms the scientific foundation taught at universities and training centres around the world.
“Listen before acting. Modern respiratory physiotherapy begins with the ear, continues with a precise understanding of the sounds, and ends with a correct, modulated and always physiological gesture.”
The Postiaux method has become the reference for paediatric respiratory physiotherapy and for the treatment of bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, obstructive bronchopathies and any condition requiring rational, evidence-based bronchial drainage.
01 / Auscultation
Respiratory sounds
Identification, classification and clinical interpretation according to a new paradigm.
02 / IEF
Increased Expiratory Flow
A modulated technique, adapted to the patient's age and stage of obstruction.
03 / PSE
Prolonged Slow Expiration
A reference tool in paediatrics, scientifically validated and reproducible.
04 / EBM
Evidence-based practice
A scientific approach, a world away from abandoned empirical techniques.
Trainer — collaborator
Stéphane Otto, passing on the Postiaux legacy.
A graduate of the University of Liège (ULiège), Stéphane Otto has devoted her career to respiratory physiotherapy and to the international dissemination of the Guy Postiaux method.
A rigorous trainer, experienced clinician and recognised speaker, she delivers respiratory physiotherapy courses every year in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Her teaching combines clinical demonstration, analysis of real cases and practical training in auscultation and airway clearance techniques.
Working alongside Guy Postiaux, she carries on and develops a scientific method recognised by the leading learned societies in respiratory physiotherapy.
— Stéphane Otto, Physiotherapist
The programme
A complete training in modern respiratory physiotherapy.
Designed for practising and student physiotherapists, the sessions combine theoretical teaching, practical auscultation workshops, video analysis and clinical scenarios according to the new paradigm championed by Guy Postiaux.
02 — Semiology
Auscultation & respiratory sounds
Systematic learning of normal and adventitious sounds, according to the new paradigm.
03 — Practice
Airway clearance techniques
IEF, PSE, directed cough, autogenic drainage: modulated, supervised learning.
04 — Paediatrics
Infants & children
Bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, care adapted to each stage of development.
05 — Adults
COPD & chronic conditions
Functional approach, pulmonary rehabilitation, therapeutic rationale.
06 — Clinical
Case studies & EBM
Clinical scenarios, clinical reasoning and critical reading of the literature.
International presence
Seven countries. One method. Hundreds of trained practitioners.
Ms Stéphane Otto teaches the Guy Postiaux method at universities, learned societies and training centres across Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Each mission is an opportunity to pass on a demanding and deeply human scientific method.
