SPORTSREHABEXPERT.COM will soon post the 9th interview of their 2012 Sports Rehab to Sports Performance Teleseminar. This interview will feature Eric Cressey.

Eric will discuss his thoughts on the Postural Restoration Institute, specifically the Impingement & Instability course, and how that affects his training when it comes to the hip and shoulder. Eric will also talk about some of his training philosophy, specifically power development for baseball, new thoughts on healthy shoulder training, and ‘Functional Stability Training’.

We have recently had a couple great e-mail questions, so be sure to check out our Recent E-mail section!

Zach Nott, CSCS, SCCC, PRT and Julie Blandin, PT, ATC, CSCS, PRC provided THIS article to SportsRehabExpert.com. Be sure to check it out!

We are pleased to announce that the Postural Restoration Institute is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education Approved Provider. This approval is for all PRI live courses only.

A note to massage therapists who have previously attended PRI courses: As a first-time provider with NCBTMB we are able to award retroactive continuing education hours up up to two years from the date of this approval. Therefore, if you attended a course between February 28, 2010 – February 29, 2012 you will receive NCBTMB approved credit for attending. Please contact Paige for details.

Jason Masek, MSPT, ATC, CSCS, PRC recently wrote an article on the jaw.  You can read it HERE!

We recently expanded PRT eligibility requirements to include those who hold SCCC Certification through the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association. This issue was given much attention by Ron Hruska, Director of PRI and our PRT Committee. Please contact Paige with any questions.

Check out Jason Masek’s latest blog discussing Postural Restoration!

The saying “squared away” means that one is in an adequate position for whatever has to be done next.  This saying has nothing to do with something actually being squared in shape or form.  It means: everything is in order; everything is arranged/ positioned and taken care of.  On the other hand, when you look at the human body, you can shape it by creating or arranging it to determine its form. Postural Restoration Institute® concepts/principles are governed by posture, position and patterns.  In every moment we are shaping our bodies into a posture that corresponds to the demands placed upon it.  Something that arranges and repeats itself in a predictable way is a pattern.  The body is shaped by how we use it and patterns govern how we function.  We all fall into patterns which create postures that reflect our body’s overall shape and/or position.
