Practitioner Onboarding & Usage Guide

Everything you need to set up your account, prepare your space, and run your first Biotonix Posture assessment.

1. Introduction & Overview

Biotonix Posture is an AI-powered assessment solution designed to help healthcare practitioners — physiotherapists, chiropractors, trainers and more — support client well-being and performance. Founded by Dr. Sylvain Guimond, the system focuses on precision, simplicity and speed to provide reliable, professional evaluations.

The ecosystem consists of two main components:

  • Mobile app — Biotonix Posture Assistant Pro. Used primarily for client intake and capturing images.
  • Web portal — app.biotonix.com. Used for detailed analysis, marker adjustment, comparative reporting and printing PDF reports.

2. Phase I — Account Setup & Installation

Step 1: Purchase & login

  • Membership. You must hold an active membership purchased via www.biotonixposture.com.
  • First login. Use the email provided during purchase. If it is your first time, click "First sign in? Create a password" on the login screen to set your credentials.
  • Use the same email and password for both the payment portal (biotonixposture.com/my-account) and the professional platform (app.biotonix.com) to simplify access.

Step 2: Platform access

  • Mobile app. Download "Biotonix Posture Assistant Pro" from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
  • Web portal. Access app.biotonix.com via Google Chrome.
Crucial
Always use Google Chrome on desktop. Other browsers (Safari, Firefox) may block key libraries and cause blank screens.

3. Phase II — Physical Environment Setup

This setup is required for the Full Assessment (which generates exercise programs). The Quick Assessment (photo only) does not require the canvas.

Capture setup: camera perpendicular to the calibration canvas

Equipment & space

  • Calibration grid. The portable backdrop grid is mandatory for Full Assessments — it provides the AI's reference markers.
  • Distance. Place the camera (tripod recommended) 8–10 ft (2.5–3 m) from the grid. Mark the distance with floor tape so follow-up assessments stay consistent.
  • Alignment. The camera must be perpendicular to the grid (90°), aimed at the patient's hip level.
  • Lighting. Ensure even lighting. Avoid windows behind the subject — backlighting causes silhouette issues.

Patient preparation

To ensure AI accuracy, the patient must follow the clothing protocol:

  • Clothing. Minimal, tight-fitting clothing — loose clothes obscure landmarks.
  • Accessories. No shoes, socks, hats, watches or glasses.
  • Hair. Tied up; neck and ears must be visible.

4. Phase III — Performing an Assessment

Step 1: Create patient & consultation (mobile app)

  1. Log in to the Biotonix Posture Assistant Pro app.
  2. Tap the user icon to create a new patient — first name, last name, date of birth and gender.
  3. Select "New Consultation".
  4. Choose the assessment type: Quick Assessment (photos only, instant visuals, no canvas) or Full Assessment (requires grid; generates the full PDF report and the 10-week exercise program).
  5. Enter the patient's height, weight and activity level (Low, Moderate, High).
Clinical tip
If a patient is in acute pain, select "Low" activity so the system prescribes safer stabilization drills rather than intense exercises.

Step 2: Image acquisition

  1. Positioning. The patient stands close to the canvas without touching it. Have them march in place and take a deep breath to settle into a natural posture.
  2. Capture. Take 3 pictures using the app's guidance overlay: lateral (side), anterior (front) and posterior (back).
  3. Alignment. Ensure the blue and gray crosses in the app overlay meet at the center of the calibration canvas.

Step 3: AI validation & marker check

After capture, the AI places anatomical markers:

  • Green dots — high-confidence placement.
  • Yellow / red dots — verify these markers. If a knee marker is too low or a wrist marker too high, adjust it later on the web portal.

5. Phase IV — Analysis, Adjustments & Reporting

Photos are taken on mobile, but detailed analysis and adjustments should be done on the web portal (app.biotonix.com).

Adjusting markers (web portal)

  1. Log in to app.biotonix.com using Google Chrome.
  2. Navigate to Patients → [Name] → Consultations → Image Processing.
  3. Drag & drop. If the AI misplaced a marker (e.g. ulnar styloid or knee joint line), drag it to the correct anatomical position.
  4. Save. The system recalculates angles and rewrites the exercise logic in under 10 seconds.
Why this matters
Correcting a single marker can reverse the "lengthen vs. strengthen" logic of the exercise program. Always review marker placement before delivering a report.

Interpreting the report

  • Prioritization. The system ranks deviations by severity and importance. Core issues (head/trunk) are weighted higher than distal issues (limbs).
  • Center of gravity (CoG). The report plots the projected CoG. Displacement from center (0,0) indicates the patient is fighting gravity, often recruiting excess muscle tone.
  • Effective weight. Use this to explain load: "Your forward head posture makes your head act as if it weighs 20 lbs instead of 14 lbs."

Corrective exercise program

  • A 10-week exercise program is automatically generated from the specific deviations found.
  • Customization. Add or remove deviations manually in the "Deviations" tab to alter the prescribed exercises.
  • Sharing. Email the PDF report directly to the client, or print it.

6. Troubleshooting & Support

Issue Solution
"Subscription expired" Confirm you purchased a membership at biotonixposture.com. If purchased, make sure you created a password via "First sign in".
Page won't load / blank Use Google Chrome. Clear the browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Del) and reload.
Calibration failed (red X) Check lighting (no windows behind the patient), ensure the camera is perpendicular, and verify the canvas markers are visible.
Yellow markers An AI "verify" flag. Check the point; if it looks correct, proceed. If not, adjust it on the web portal.
