For those of you who are familiar with PRI manual techniques presented in our Postural Respiration™ and Cervical-Cranio-Mandibular Restoration™ courses, you will be happy to hear that we have filmed the manual techniques for a DVD. The date for filming was on May 30th and the finished project is expected by early summer. The live DVD will provide a great resource and guide for clinicians practicing PRI manual techniques. Twenty-three techniques will comprise this DVD; many of them are covered only briefly in our courses. Along with step by step instruction you will also receive commentary provided by Ron Hruska on the creation, application and significance of each technique.

Comments from Postural Restoration - Clinical Course

Our first clinical course, Postural Restoration, took place in Woodbury, MN last week! Here are some of the comments:

“Very helpful with verbal cues and patient education. This explained the whys of what to use depending on testing results.”

“Very helpful, explained things thoroughly.”

“Carrie is a very good, knowledgeable speaker. I felt very comfortable asking questions and participating in disucssions.”

“Carrie was an awesome instructor and was able to bring together and answer a lot of questions I had after the February 2008 Myokinematic Restoration course.”

A clinical course 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.

Contact us to schedule a course at your clinic!
