At our weekly Wednesday morning meeting the “topic of conversation” on Lori Thomsen’s agenda was footwear! Since our gathering with The Lincoln Running Company and Dr. Paul Coffin, DPM, Lori and her fellow colleagues have been testing patient’s objectively while wearing different shoewear. The results...Asics Foundations are the best!! This shoe is a great shoe to use with patients that don’t require an orthotic. The calcaneal stability and medial arch support in the shoe provide enough stability for a patient to maintain neutrality while performing a PRI program!

It has been over a week since we mailed out the first copies of the Manual Techniques DVD. We’ve sent several copies to clinicians all around the United States but have not heard any feedback (positive or negative) on what you think. We are very anxious to hear from you to provide us with your initial thoughts on how it turned out. Please email us at with any comments you may have on your newly purchased DVD. Any comments provided will help us answer questions from other clinicians interested in using this DVD!

The Lincoln Running Company is a local shoe store in Lincoln, Nebraska who works closely with the staff at The Hruska Clinic assisting patients in finding appropriate footwear that compliments PRI concepts and PRI orthotics. Dr. Paul Coffin is a podiatrist from Sioux City, Iowa, who evaluates patients of The Hruska Clinic twice a month and assesses their need for customized PRI orthotics.

If we could hand pick a piece of equipment that best reflects PRI concepts the Skier’s Edge would be top on our list. This non-impact lateral conditioning machine was 1st designed for the U.S. ski team but has expanded their market into training facilities and rehab centers around the world. This is the only machine we have found that focuses on frontal plane movement, the plane PRI often uses to restore the Left AIC chain. If you have access to a Skier’s Edge, we encourage you to check it out! You can also read more about the Skier’s Edge here!

In 2005, PRI was fortunate to cross paths with Kelly Hutson, inventor of the Day 6 Bicycles. This bike’s revolutionary design offers a number of listed benefits, number one being comfort. We have had the opportunity to ride this bike and were very impressed with its unique features. Here is what Ron Hruska had to say about it.
“I recommend the Day 6 bike to my patients and to physical therapists attending my courses. The support system, adjustability feature and the mechanical engineering allows those patients with neck, shoulder, and back strain to work out”.
At this time Day 6 Bicycles is offering an awesome incentive for healthcare professionals. If you purchase a Day 6 Bicycles you will receive $250 off the listed price and $100 off any referrals you make. To learn more about Day 6 bicycles click here!
