The seeds of PRI science have been planted in the birthplace of philosophy. We have all seen the beneficiaries of Ron Hruska’s Socratic style of teaching. Sharing PRI wisdom in Athens was a natural fit.
Praxis Physical Therapy in Athens graciously hosted this Intro to PRI seminar. Mimi Marsellou PT/ Μιμή Μαρσέλλου PT, M.Sc. and Foteni Largari PT / Φωτεινή Λάγαρη PT have owned and run a women’s health and general PT practice for over 20 years.
How did this come about? A unique professional connection to Greece:
Having had the great fortune to have lived in Greece for 6 years, working in Athens as a PT from 2000 to 2004, including being a PT for the Greek Olympic Committee/Athens summer Olympic and Paralympic games in 2004. When I returned to the US, and discovered PRI in 2008, obtained a PRC certification in 2011 with the culmination of opening my own PRI Center in 2014. Like Odysseus traveling so far only to return home again; this summer presented the opportunity of introducing PRI to rehab professionals in Athens. It is no surprise that they are eager for more.
Now that they have been exposed to PRI concepts, there are plans for the home study courses in the near future.
Who knows, perhaps hosting a course as well. “OPA” PRI!
