Postural Restoration Institute
(P.R.I)
The Postural Restoration Institute (P.R.I) focuses on the influence of the diaphragm and gait mechanics on the entirety of physiology. Highlighting the asymmetry of our internal systems and the inherent torsions that result from such imbalance, PRI offers a uniquely functional approach to solving dysfunctions in the body. From musculoskeletal pain to digestion, circulation, hormones, and anxiety, P.R.I techniques target dysfunction and imbalance stemming from life’s most essential voluntary physical actions: Breathing and Walking.
