After being born and raised in Colorado, Torin graduated from PT school at the University of North Dakota in 1999. Fairly early in his career as a Physical Therapist he realized that what he learned in PT school taught him a lot of “WHAT” was happening and “WHAT” to do, but he never really knew “WHY” any of it was happening. This changed when he took his first course from the Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) early in his career. The material presented by PRI was the first time he really felt someone actually had a framework to answer the question why he was seeing what he was seeing. This understanding dramatically changed the way he treated and the outcomes he was able to achieve.
After moving to Minot, North Dakota, continuing to learn more and more PRI science, and working there for 10 years, he was fortunate enough to be hired on as a staff Physical Therapist at the Hruska Clinic in Lincoln, NE in 2011. In 2012 he earned the designation of Postural Restoration Certified (PRC) as a result of advanced training, extraordinary interest and devotion to the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns, and the influence of poly-articular chains of muscles on the human body as defined by the Postural Restoration Institute®.
Since starting at the Hruska Clinic, Torin has continued to be able to grow in his understanding and knowledge of the science of PRI, particularly with a multi-disciplinary integration mindset. The ability to integrate the science of PRI with Podiatry, Dentistry and Optometry has led to a great understanding of the highly integrated system that is the asymmetrical human. With his co-workers he helped establish and manages the Hruska Clinic’s multidisciplinary PRIME program which brings patients in from across the globe to work with their multi-disciplinary team. He is excited and humbled to be able to join the faculty of the Postural Restoration Institute to continue to educate and grow the science of PRI.
Torin stays busy with his wife, Leslie, and 5 growing children who continue to inspire and support him.
