About Us
The Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) was established in 2000 to explore and explain the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles.
The Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) is a continuing education institute that was established in 2000 to explore and explain the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles. We offer 12 post-graduate level courses, in addition to an annual PRI Interdisciplinary Studies Summit, and we welcome any licensed healthcare or certified fitness professional to attend our courses. Professional credentialing opportunities (PRC, PRT and PRP Japan) are available to qualified professionals.
The human body is not symmetrical. The neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular and vision systems are not the same on the left side of the body as they are on the right, and vice versa. They have different responsibilities, function, position and demands on them. This system asymmetry is a good thing and an amazing design. The human body is balanced through the integration of system imbalances.
The Postural Restoration Institute® was established in 2000 to explore and explain the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles.
Are you a healthcare or fitness professional who continues to see the same dysfunctional patterns of movement, pain presentations, or habitual patterns of postural behavior associated with a dominant side of the body?
Are you interested in learning how different systems, including the visual and stomatognathic systems can influence asymmetrical tendencies and patterns?
If so, we invite you to consider beginning your PRI educational journey and learn how to recognize and manage these asymmetrical imbalances and typical patterns associated with system disuse or weakness that develops because of dominant overuse.
The Postural Restoration Institute® offers 12 post-graduate level courses, in addition to an annual PRI Interdisciplinary Studies Summit, and we welcome any licensed healthcare or certified fitness professional to complete our courses. Professional credentialing opportunities (PRC, PRT and PRP Japan) are also available to qualified professionals.
PRI offers 3 primary courses (Myokinematic Restoration, Postural Respiration and Pelvis Restoration), which are introductory to the science and do not require pre-requisites. The three primary courses can be taken in any order; however, we generally recommend beginning with either the Postural Respiration or Myokinematic Restoration course. Primary courses are available as an online home study, live stream or live in-person.
The secondary and tertiary level courses each have pre-requisite coursework that must be successfully completed prior to attending these courses, which is defined on each course page. Secondary and tertiary level courses are available for live stream or live in-person attendance.
Learn more about the many courses that PRI offers for licensed healthcare and certified fitness professionals, in addition to the two professional credentialing opportunities, PRC and PRT.
Expand your knowledge of PRI through this video subscription platform where we discuss topics related to PRI course material, techniques, case studies, interdisciplinary management and more.
Explore our growing collection of free webinars discussing integrative application of the science of Postural Restoration®, and learn more about upcoming webinars with Ron Hruska.
Listen to PRI faculty members, credentialed providers and integrative specialists tell their story, and learn how they apply the science of Postural Restoration® in their healthcare or fitness setting.
Check out the products available for purchase to compliment your application of PRI course material, including non-manual and manual technique programs, patient guides, illustrations, and more.

It was such a pleasure presenting this course material to a European audience! These attendees, with their strong interest in PRI and numerous questions across all four days, made the Postural Respiration and Cervical Revolution courses more interactive than usual. Questions mainly concerned the clinical application of course concepts related to the human species asymmetrical body and the impact on nervous system processing to produce desirable (and undesirable) movement. Attendees shared their clinical perspectives, providing a collaborative vibe and ancillary information that deepened our understanding of course concepts. And what a diverse set of perspectives we had, from osteopaths, physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists, to a hand specialist, speech and language pathologist, pelvic floor specialist, yoga and massage therapists, sport scientists and personal trainers.
In the interim week between these courses my husband, Bruce, and I took in the sights of Munich, including a basketball game at the German National Championships, and decompressed with runs through the English Garden, hikes in the Bavarian Alps, and quite a few pints of German lagers.
A huge thank you to Timas Peteraitis, Physiotherapist and PRC, who was an enormous help during lab and who added to class discussions. Timas, you are a natural educator. I wish you well on your path to teaching at the University level.
Finally, thank you to our hosts at the beautiful Lindebergs Academy: Regina Frank, Lorenz, and Daniel Mueller. The PRI faculty have enjoyed your hospitality through the years, and we look forward to the continuing collaboration to spread the science of PRI!

The Autonomic Nervous System, and especially how it integrates with the Central Nervous System, can be a daunting topic.
This conceptual presentation, based extensively on current research, is designed to give a clinically applicable overview so that all attendees, whether dentists, movement specialists or clients, gain an understanding of:
• What tensegrity means and the interceptive role it plays in autonomic variability
• How upright humans can use phases of respiration to "tune" their autonomic state
• How functional "over tuning" (hyperinflation) may contribute to convergence (or lack of alternating lateralization in the mouth, in the body and in the brain).
Registration for this webinar is available in our bio! The recording of this webinar will only be available to AAPMD members once completed so make sure to catch it LIVE!

Deep in the heart of west Texas located at @elite.physical.therapy in Abilene is where Postural Respiration was taught this past weekend to a diverse group of students from different disciplines and even different countries from halfway around the world. Having a diverse group of students from physical therapy, chiropractic, strength and conditioning, and massage therapy always makes for lively sharing of perspectives.
I had the pleasure and opportunity to have two PRI faculty members, Kasey Ratliff, DPT and Craig Depperschmidt, DPT, assist with teaching, demonstration and lab for testing, non-manual techniques, and manual technique applications. Their presence added so much value for a nurturing learning environment especially to those new to not only Postural Respiration but to PRI as well.
A significant focus was placed on how to apply a PRI program for our patients. Part of the art of PRI is not only knowing what technique to choose, how to describe and “coach” it for our patients or clients, and then how to progress as described on page 4 in the appendix regarding the Overview of Right Brachial Chain Position Progression and Treatment Guidelines. This takes time and practice to continually master PRI principles and every journey into knowledge starts with basic steps.
I wanted to thank Kasey Ratliff for assisting in not only reading out technique directions during lab but answering questions for students throughout the weekend. She also assisted me in any technical difficulties through the weekend with my PowerPoint “clicker” and her helpful insights for the use of that piece of equipment was vital to ensure a nurturing educational environment!
Thank you for Gad’s group that made the long journey from Taiwan to attend this course. And most especially, thank you so much to physical therapists Kerry and Brian at Elite Physical Therapy for hosting another PRI course. Your support is greatly appreciated! We hope you all keep ‘stepping’ into PRI!

Meet our newest illustrations “Orbital Rivalry” & “Palatine Pirouette” now available on our products page!
1 - As the occiput rests more on the right atlas foramen, the incongruence of aligned sets of paired cranial bones usually creates resistance on the surfaces of one of these paired bones, that reduces the friction at the same suture sites of the other side of the face. This illustration reflects the presentation of mutually incongruent eye orbits, where the sphenobasilar flexion on the left side widens, protrudes, and everts the right orbit, as the left orbit remains narrow and retruded. Unlike binocular rivalry where the presentation of mutually incongruent images to the left and to the right eye alters perceptual alternation of the two eyes stimuli, thus reducing perceptual fusion, orbital rivalry exists where there is presentation of mutually incongruent paired orbital bones (zygomatic, lacrimal, maxilla and palatine) thus altering positional alternation of these bones on the non-paired orbital bones (frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid) and reducing aligned proprioception fusion of the two bilateral maxillae for centric mandibular occlusion.
2 - The pterygoid medial and lateral plates of the sphenoid fit into the grooves on the posterior surface of the vertical portion of each palatine base. These palatine surfaces are smooth in order to allow for free gliding movement of the pterygoid plates within the grooves of the sphenoid. This illustration shows the relationship of these three bones to each other as the paired palatine bones are positioned between the sphenoid’s pterygoid plates. In this position, the palatine bones may slide and spin on one side, allowing the other side to be raised or lowered, while the horizontal plate of the palatine bones communicates with the support offered from the other side. This act of movement, or spin, is one that you would see a dancer use to perform a pirouette on one foot, as the other foot is raised and touching the supporting leg’s knee.

It was my great pleasure to be asked back to Quincy, IL, to teach Myokinematic Restoration. They are a great group of people, and are really engaged in PRI. Most of the Myokinematic courses are filled with movement specialists who are new to the science of PRI. For this course, we only had 7 attendees who had never take a PRI course before, and several who had taken several courses. It provided a different experience for all the attendees to have so many experienced PRI practitioners attending a Primary course.
My thanks to Kristin Thompson, PT, for another great course. It was great to see so many attendees coming this weekend who had attended Postural Respiration last year. It was great to have our PRI Mini-Resident, @ansku.kangas helping me with the labs for this course. We were fortunate to have an entire afternoon of lab, which provided everyone with the opportunity to feel many PRI non-manual techniques in themselves. Thanks to Eann Diller, PR, Patrick Kistner, PTA, ATC, Sam Wilson, Yvonne Robison PT, and Macy Huber, PT for wonderful questions. I look forward to seeing how this developing PRI hub that is Quincy, IL, evolves over the next several years!
