Audience and Accreditation

We’ve recently posted a more organized listing of continuing education information by profession, course and state. You’ll find this information under our “courses” section or just click here. The list of approval by course will continue to be updated as CE approval is an ongoing process. For home study courses CE approval will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. If you have a question about your state or professional requirements, you can contact your state licensing board or contact us for assistance.

Physical Therapists and PT Assistants

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as a national organization does not approve continuing education providers or courses. Rather, state chapters create their own guidelines for course approval. Many states require that PT’s and PTA’s complete a certain number of continuing education hours in order to retain their licenses; but not all of those states require that the courses themselves be approved. In the states that require approval of CE courses for PT’s and PTA’s and where PRI is hosting a live course PRI courses are approved yearly. PRI has never been denied for continuing education credit. PT’s and PTA’s are eligible to apply for Postural Restoration Certification (PRC).

Occupational Therapists and OT Assistants

The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) recognizes PRI as an Approved Provider of continuing education. Approval applies to PRI live courses. Please note that the assignment of AOTA CEUs does not imply endorsement of specifi c course content, products, or clinical procedures by AOTA. OT’s are eligible to apply for Postural Restoration Certification (PRC).

Athletic Trainers

PRI is recognized by the Board of Certification, Inc (BOC) to offer continuing education for certified athletic trainers (#P2376).  Athletic Trainers who have attended two or more PRI courses are recognized on the PRI website (upon request). Certificates of Completion are awarded to attendees upon the successful completion of each course.

Strength and Conditioning Coaches

The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) has approved the following courses for 2010: Myokinematic Restoration, Postural Respiration and Impingement & Instability. These are the PRI courses most beneficial to those designing strength and conditioning programs.

Strength and Conditioning Coaches who have attended two or more PRI courses are recognized on the PRI website (upon request). Certificates of Completion are awarded to attendees upon the successful completion of each course.

Other Healthcare Professionals

PRI welcomes any interested healthcare professional to attend our courses. Attendees are responsible for following their state statutes regulating their professional practice as they integrate interdisciplinary PRI concepts. The Interdisciplinary Integration course is specifically designed to assist with the integration of PRI in fields of dentistry, rehabilitation medicine, optometry, neurology, podiatry, etc. A certificate will be awarded to registrants upon completion of this course or any of the other PRI courses.
