Congratulations to the PRC class of 2024!

PRC credentialing is the result of completing multiple advanced PRI courses, demonstrating a thorough understanding of the science through completion of the PRC application, and successfully participating in practical and analytical testing. Earlier this week, 7 clinicians earned the designation of Postural Restoration Certified™ (PRC) under the direction of Ron Hruska, Kasey Ratliff, Skip George, and Jennifer Platt.

Back Row: Robert “Skip” George, Yoshi Fujii, Marlyn Bravo, Desiree Parham, Joshua Speckman, Jennifer Platt
Front Row: Ron Hruska, Mayami Oyanagi, Brynn Babb, Saundra Brogan, Kasey Ratliff

The Postural Restoration Institute® established this certification process in 2004 as a way to recognize and identify those individuals with advanced training, extraordinary interest and devotion to the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polvarticular chains of muscles on the human body as defined by the Postural Restoration Institute. The PRC credentialing program is available to physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, and chiropractors who have attended PRI courses, demonstrated a thorough understanding of the science through completion of the PRC application, and successfully participate in both clinical and analytical testing.

“This is the why. This is why I work the way that I do and why I feel so passionate about being able to deliver a program with the right team around me in the most complete way for the patient.
 
This is personal for me and bringing this to as many people I can is my way of showing gratitude to the people who have helped me and have made all the difference in my personal and professional life. @posturalrestoration @hruska_clinic
 
Thank you to @thevideoartists for their amazing work (and patience with me 😄) filming a ton of content over a period of days, and beautifully editing it, which I will be posting periodically to showcase to kind of work we are doing @renaissance_pt .
 
Thank you to past, current and future clients for their trust. Stay tuned for more!”

“Results: The results showed a significant difference between the QoL, pain intensity, function, and PROM of left hip adduction in the group with PR exercises with and without core exercises and control (P=0.000). In the PR group with core exercises (P=0.001) and without core exercises (P=0.001), a significant increase was observed in the adduction of the left hip. There was no significant difference between the function (P=0.850), pain (P=0.120), QoL (P=0.328), and PROM (P=0.094) in the intervention groups.
 
Conclusion: PR exercises with and without core stability are equally effective in reducing pain and improving function, QoL, and hip adduction range of motion in women with left anterior interior chain patterns”

“Cervical Revolution is the conduit to introducing bottom up as well as top down concepts from the cervical spine, cranium, and occlusal system that first require an understanding of the most important neurologic articulation in the body called the atlas and occipital bone. This is where the brainstem is located and is highly sensitive to pressure and movement especially pressure from a head that is forward on a neck that has lost it’s normal 30 degrees of lordosis. If that 30 degrees is lost, then 30 degrees of mid-cervical lateral flexion and 30 degrees of rotation is lost as well.”

Episode 36 with @yoshi.mitsuyama is live! Yoshi has a unique experience, spanning from working with collegiate and professional soccer athletes, singers in Nashville and individuals who are just trying to get out of bed each day!

Whether trying to maintain performance at a high level, or attempting to overcome stressors that limit us from standing, individuals on both sides of the spectrum often get labeled with the same dysautonomia diagnosis and can benefit from similar reprogramming.

So you suspect your right ilium is tipped forward……..in that case it is likely that so is your left. 
(Bilateral AIC)
(PEC)

Or maybe you are relying on one of the two scenarios Craig mentions here.

What do the TESTS tell you? Did you even objectively test it?

Without understanding the science behind why someone can or cannot adduct a femur by clearing the acetabular rim via a neutral pelvis, nothing you perceive or palpate is very powerful and you may actually be further reinforcing their pattern!
