Three continuing education courses have evolved from Ron’s experience and are taught nationally through the Postural Restoration Institute - Educational Division of the Hruska Clinic. Over the years, his reputation has led to consultations with collegiate and professional athletes from a variety of arenas, including football, volleyball, baseball, golf and swimming.

History of Passion

The Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) is built around 30 years of clinical practice associated with recurring successes of specific patient treatment programs. We established reproducible, outcome-based programs based on consistent evidence-based correlations, discovered with patient biomechanical, respiratory, and neurological functional patterns and limitations. My passion for the integrated systems of the body has resulted in an examination and intervention process of the asymmetrical human body called Postural Restoration.
