Colby Mamigonian is a strength coach, personal trainer and movement coach in New York City.

Colby was raised in Dover, NH, and now lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Colby’s goal is to be able to help his clients restore their capacity to move pain free, and then help make normal exercise a routine aspect of their life. As stated by Colby in his PRT application a few years ago,

“PRI plays the role as the foundation I stand on when assessing clients, as well as selecting exercises for them to perform. I rely heavily on PRI techniques in the beginning to restore neutrality, and educate the client on what it feels like to control their bodies in a pain-free way. More importantly, PRI has given me a biomechanical and neuro-sensory framework from which to coach any movement I choose for my clients, to ensure than any activity they perform is with sound mechanics. The ultimate goal is to empower my clients to live a life without anxiety about the strength of their body.”

In addition to PRI, Colby integrates information from affective neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and biotensegrity, among other areas of interest in order to help clients with conditions ranging from chronic pain, amputee, brain injury, and more. He is a lifelong student, who currently is learning more about Chinese medicine, in particular its movement medicine and martial art methodology. He is also passionate about music and plays guitar in his band.

Colby took his first PRI course in 2017 and he went on to complete PRT Credentialing in January 2023.

Colby is very active within the PRI community, even though you won’t see much from him in the digital world. He loves to read books and research articles, and is often sharing resources with Ron to explore as well. In addition to presenting today at our 3^rd Annual Interdisciplinary Studies Summit, he also presented at our 1^st Summit two years ago.

Colby has assisted on the PRT Application Review Committee and he also assisted with PRT testing in the summer of 2024. We know Colby will continue to be highly respected within the PRI community for many years to come.

We are so honored to present the PRI Directors Award to Colby Mamigonian. Congratulations Colby!

What a great two days teaching in my hometown in Lincoln. Thank you to everyone for a great two days of learning and asking questions.

I feel the course participants learned how frontal plane orientation of the pelvic inlet and outlet influences the ability of the pelvic diaphragm and respiratory diaphragm to coordinate ascension and descension, supporting effective internal pressure regulation throughout the thoracic and abdominal canisters.

The course emphasizes how asymmetrical pelvic positioning alters the relationship between the pelvis, rib cage, and diaphragm, affecting the body’s ability to alternate between compression and decompression. When frontal plane mechanics are optimized, the system can more effectively distribute pressure, improve respiratory efficiency, and support balanced neuromuscular activity

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Also, thank you to to our Italian Friends who made the trip all the way from Italy. We love how PRI Nation is growing internationally.

What a fantastic weekend in Anchorage. It was a proper Alaska “shoulder season” weekend and a perfect time to come together at The Physical Therapy place in order to connect and learn about patterned respiration.

Joy and Katie were amazing hosts and brought the five star Alaskan hospitality. It was truly an enjoyable few days for me exploring Anchorage and spending time with some amazing class participants.

Katie B. was an excellent example of superior T4, where her right scalenes successfully built a “bigger garage” in her right upper chest wall. This was revealed as we peeled back layers of compensation through a superior T4 manual technique.

Meg brought in her experience being a patient of PRIME in the past, and gave me some great advice for the Boston Marathon from when she ran it back in 1997! Kelsey T. and Kelsey G. helped remind us of the value of meeting, collaborating, and learning in person from each other, with Kelsey T. making the track from Reno. Bibo made the trek through “the tunnel” from Whittier to learn with us and was such a delight to have lunch with.

Beata provided fantastic recaps on day two demonstrating a full understanding of the material. Dave provided soothing narration of the manual and non-manual techniques, as well as a humbleness of admitting he may be over-patterned in his respiratory mechanics.
Juliet was a joy to have in class and provide insights on how to integrate PRI within her aquatic practice. So many applications through that medium! Oksana provided a fantastic example of PEC respiratory mechanics. Her pelvic floor patients, as well as her power lifting patients, will massively benefit from her newfound knowledge of patterned rib cage behavior.

Aryn and Sam were an absolute delight to have in class and are so fortunate to learn about patterned airflow so early on in their career. Joy and Katie are excited for them to take over The Physical Therapy Place someday 🙂

Thanks for the salmon, Sam!!

Thanks again to my two friends Joy and Katie for hosting, for the BEST PIZZA in the country, the shirt, and the lovely card. I can’t wait to go back to Alaska!

No better place to be during March Madness than Chapel Hill NC teaching Visual Vestibular Refinement.  Especially for a couple of guys from Lincoln, NE [ AKA home of the Sweet Sixteen bound Nebraska Cornhusker basketball team!]  Ron and I were welcomed and graciously hosted by all the great practitioners from Advance Physical Therapy in Chapel Hill.  Their support and dedication to PRI over the years has been amazing.  Along with the staff of Advance PT, the rest of the North Carolina contingent and their years of experience with the science of PRI led to a wonderful weekend of diving deeper into the role of the visual and vestibular system and its interaction and impact on upright function.  We were able to discuss the role of upright podal sense in the processing of orientation and visual perception and prescription that we hope will be helpful to all of our attendees.

The high level interaction of a group of attendees that understand the science of PRI and the need for interdisciplinary management was inspiring to us all.  Special thanks to Tracy-Lynn Schuster and Molly Miller for their spontaneous discussion on the benefits and process of integrating with optometrists and their personal experiences with it.  Your 5-minute discussion was a master class we wish we had on tape for others to hear.

I also would like to specifically thank the trio of Vestibular Certified Therapists from the Atlanta area. Ann, Jennifer and Allison were able to help us link the role of upright podal sense and visual processing with the vestibular system, which is a piece that they reminded us is not part of the several Vestibular Certifications they have already received. We look forward to seeing how they utilize the information in this course with their expertise in the vestibular rehab world.

We also cannot thank our Optometric attendees for their open-mindedness and contribution to this course.  Having people with their background engage and learn with us helps us all out.  Alecia, Jackie, Nancy, and Sandy, it was a pleasure having all of you with us!

Lastly I cannot thank Josh Olinick enough for his taxi service to and from the airport and for taking me on a visual/vestibular calming hike in the woods upon arriving in North Carolina.

It truly was an honor teaching this course to this supportive experienced passionate group of professionals!

Flying into Boston I was reminded of a trip my family and I took to Fenway park a few years ago. As I bleed pin stripes and have been brought up a NY Yankees fan, there is an inherent bias against all things Red Sox. Historic Fenway park won me over and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game with my family. One of the striking characteristics of the stadium is the Green Monster in left field. At a height of 37 feet, it is an imposing and a formidable obstacle to balls hit in its direction.

An apt analogy for my weekend teaching Myokinematic Restoration with the great folks from Central Mass Physical Therapy & Wellness. As the course that focuses on the left AIC pattern, we discussed our bodies inherent challenge at moving and orienting to the left field. Much like a hitter trying to clear the bases, going left in Fenway and in life requires a specific swing and trajectory.

Most of the audience had already been exposed to PRI with many attendees having been at the Pelvis Restoration course Central Mass PT hosted last fall. This enabled a more involved and progressive discussion on repositioning, retraining, and restoring alternation. Some of the most dangerous hitters in baseball have an ability to hit to either side of the field, just like our ultimate goal with PRI of restoring alternating movement through both sides of the body.

A big thank you to the 13 attendees from Central Mass Physical Therapy & Wellness, you guys are becoming quite a resource for the region and I look forward to seeing your application of PRI continue to evolve and advance. I thoroughly enjoyed my second time teaching at your clinic and anticipate seeing many of you at PRI courses down the road. Last, but not least, go Yankees!

We are now an Approved Provider by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) for all three Primary Courses, which are available In-Person or Online, as a self-paced Home Study or Live Stream! Visit each of the three primary course pages for more information the number of CE hours awarded for each course.

Vermont has long been a PRI friendly region of the country. So I was very excited to have the opportunity to teach Impingement and Instability in a region that I have never visited previously. There were so many people in the audience that I feel like I know because I had seen their names around PRI circles for decades.

I really enjoy teaching I&I because it is the course that can radically change how anyone uses PRI and applies the concepts to get dramatically better results much faster. And this course does a great job of explaining how the neuro-biological sense of self is actually what moves the body forward when upright. We were able to do a powerful demonstration of the difference of how to cue the PRI non-manual techniques, particularly when upright, and the value of sensed reference centers.

Recovery is such a huge issue for anyone, particularly those who engage in any kind of dynamic event. Any event that requires effort requires recovery. The ANS plays an enormous role in recovery, and if the system doesn’t have the ability to recover via alternating compression, the entire system will find a way to find a compensatory method to attempt to recover, without actually recovering. Fortunately, for these movement professionals, we were able to lay out a clear and decisive method of how the body can learn how to recover, re-flex, and resume normal neurobiological function.

It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with Ollie and Jessica Hall, as well as their staff. It was a great facility and environment to have a PRI course. My thanks to Danielle Juckett, Jason Polakowski, Anthony Wong, and Thomas Kramer for their questions and allowing us to learn from their experiences during our demonstrations during lab.

If any movement professional is interested in helping their patients or clients function with efficiency, Impingement and Instability is the course for you. If anyone in PRI nation is interested in developing their ability to get results faster, as well as develop a bridge to the PRI Cervical, Cranial, Voice Box, FLM, Occlusal, and Visual Vestibular courses, Impingement and Instability is the course for you.

“Something happened” in Lincoln last weekend!  What a fantastic group of people, both online and in person. We had super fun dialogue and all got to experience a little more left stance in our lives.  Melissa, Ashley, and Andy made the trip from David City in the company party van to help us understand the importance of left AF IR. Melissa took Myokin over 10 years ago, so it was very valuable to have her in the course and to provide her insights as an experienced clinician.  Megan represented Husker Rehab and provided a perfect example of a non-patho compensatory left AIC pattern in class to learn from. Andrea of PT royalty bloodline graced us with her presence to represent a bilateral AIC pattern….but with healthy hamstring length and function!  Courtney was a joy to have in class and provided fantastic input and questions clarifying left AF IR and right AF ER. My hope is that she makes the trip to Lincoln regularly to continue her PRI education! Shelby the Narrator provided excellent commentary and dialogue while reminding us that SOMETHING IS HAPPENING when our brains properly experience left stance.

Thanks to everyone who joined online and all your superb questions. It was fun watching all your smiling, attentive faces on the screen. Hopefully I’ll see many of you in May for Postural in Boston with Rachel!

I was happy to bring some North Carolina sunshine to Lincoln, Nebraska in February a few weeks ago for an unseasonably warm offering of the Human Evolution course via live stream. We had a wonderfully interactive experience as we allowed any of the interested participants from 6 countries and 13 US states to unmute at will to ask questions or to comment. It was almost like you were right there in the room with me!

Topics of conversation included participants’ comments about their own developmental experiences, those of their children, and of course of their patients. We emphasized the critical importance of crawling- at any age, how our brains process visual and auditory space when we walk behind an object that we impart motion to, and how something as simple as a stairwell can offer such rich sensory motor stimuli for pattern re-programming, to name a few.

A few participants commented about how a developmentally informed therapeutic approach to movement was immediately having an impact on how they were thinking about their patients. They appreciated the many avatars used in over 120 videos of direct patient care that helped to demonstrate concepts and therapeutic improvements. Further, considerations about our daily processing of specific sensory information cross referenced with our ability for alternating reciprocal movement when we are horizontal (rolling for bed mobility, and crawling), to the transitions of becoming upright, followed by more sophisticated movements while upright (pushing something, standing on one leg and negotiating stairs forward and backwards) can be powerful tools for non-manual technique selection, especially for patients and clients who are more complicated.

A few days after the course, a PRC reached out to me and said this, “I re-read the Symmetric Tonic Neck Reflex Principle last night to prepare for my morning client who has facial dystonia symptoms. I tried the PRI Functional Squat with Low Trap and he rocked a level five, which I would’ve never thought to do without your course.”

It seems like this course is finally starting to catch on. It’s not just for those of you who have children or who treat children. It’s for those of you who help humans move better and feel better. It’s for those of you who want more tools (“Principles”) in your tool belt to assess and decide how to more efficiently treat your people with the use of sensory processing manipulation to affect a foundational movement sequence for pain relief and neurological freedom!

Many thanks to Jen and RJ for their production prowess, to PRC’s Sarah Petrich, Michelin Carroll, Mayami Oyanagi, my fellow pediatric PT’s Ashley Haflett and Sarah Eid and you potential PRC’s Kathleen Stinson, Gad Zhang, and especially to Katie Hedlund, who was in the room with me being my litmus test. You all offered valuable contributions and questions, which enriches everyone’s learning experience, including mine! I’m forever grateful for you all and this PRI community! And of course, thank you Ron Hruska!

Hope to see you in a course soon!

Cheers,
Lisa
