For more than two decades, Stéphane Otto, a physiotherapist who graduated from the University of Liège (ULiège), has been teaching the Guy Postiaux method to practitioners around the world. Her respiratory physiotherapy courses — lung auscultation, respiratory sounds, airway clearance — are recognised in Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa.
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 long-standing collaborator of Guy Postiaux, a world-renowned figure in the discipline, she has a unique clinical and teaching background for teaching this method in the best conditions.
Her teaching combines scientific rigour, clinical demonstration, analysis of real cases, auscultation workshops and practical training in airway clearance. Each session is designed so that participants leave with immediately applicable skills, whether they work in private practice, in hospital or in paediatrics.
Beyond technical teaching, Stéphane Otto champions an ethic of respiratory physiotherapy: no recipes, no fixed protocols, but structured clinical reasoning, rigorous respect for the patient's physiology and a constant demand for scientific validation.
All courses taught by Stéphane Otto are based on the Guy Postiaux method and its new paradigm of respiratory physiotherapy. They combine theory, semiology and practice in a rigorous progression.
Belgium is the historical birthplace of the Postiaux method. Naturally, it is also the country where Stéphane Otto teaches most regularly, in collaboration with the country's main physiotherapy learned societies. The Belgian sessions are a reference for the entire French-speaking world.

Humanitarian mission of the Association d'Aide Internationale (AAI) to Kabinda, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Teaching respiratory physiotherapy to local caregivers: airway clearance techniques, paediatric care, auscultation. Teaching that goes beyond the academic setting and becomes an act of solidarity.
Paediatric respiratory physiotherapy is a crucial need in regions where the prevalence of childhood bronchopathies remains high. The modern techniques taught by Stéphane Otto (ELPr, AFE, guided auscultation) are particularly suited to local conditions: little equipment, a lot of manual skill and constant clinical monitoring.
On four continents, in very different cultural, linguistic and institutional contexts, Stéphane Otto teaches the same rigorous body of knowledge: the Postiaux method, with its scientific demands, its original techniques and its ethic of care.
