We are excited to announce and congratulate the Postural Restoration Trained (PRT) Class of 2017! PRT is the result of completing multiple advanced PRI courses, demonstrating a thorough understanding of the science through completion of the PRT application, and successfully participating in practical and analytical testing. Eight individuals earned the designation of Postural Restoration Trained (PRT) under the direction of Ron Hruska, Neil Rampe and Jennifer Platt.
The Postural Restoration Institute® established this credentialing process in 2011 as a way to recognize and identify individuals with advanced training, extraordinary interest and devotion to the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles on the human body as defined by the Postural Restoration Institute®. The PRT credential is available to Certified Athletic Trainers, Certified Athletic Therapists and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists who have completed the course requirements, application and testing process. With the addition of this class, there are now 41 PRT professionals throughout the U.S.
PRT credentialed athletic trainers and strength and conditioning specialists offer a unique approach to physical medicine and fitness called Postural Restoration. This approach addresses underlying biomechanics which can often lead to symptoms of pain and dysfunction. All mechanical influences on the body that restrict movement and contribute to improper joint and muscle position are considered, examined, and assessed. Techniques are utilized to restore proper alignment of the body while proper respiratory dynamics are considered. Management encompasses prevention and lifetime integration for long-term successful outcomes.
Congratulations!

This past weekend Chris Gaines of Performance Gaines hosted Postural Respiration in Palo Alto, CA. I taught a diverse group of PT's, D.C.'s, athletic trainers, massage therapists and sports performance professionals. The attendees came from all backgrounds and facilities ranging from private practice, professional sports teams, universities, specialties in pediatrics and the military. This was a high performance group that really "brought it" with energy, attention and loads of questions! Mr. Chris Gaines did a great job hosting. Thank you Chris!
