Postural Restoration Institute

Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration or Postural Respiration is required.

A staff in-service takes place when you choose to host a course at your facility for your staff only. Your staff can be educated as a team while saving on continuing education costs. In-services topics, dates, and times are flexible depending on your staff needs. All in-services are presented by PRI certified therapists. In addition to having completed an intense certification process through PRI, these individuals have been clinically practicing postural restoration principles for several years and have been individually trained by Ron Hruska.
