PRI ANNOUNCES THE CREDENTIALING OF LORI STROBL, PRC

On December 9, 2014, the Postural Restoration Institute® announced the completion of the Postural Restoration Certified™ (PRC) credentialing program by Lori Strobl, PRC. To be Postural Restoration Certified™ (PRC), Lori, the Clinical Supervisor at the St. Francis Watkins Centre Physical Therapy Clinic, has completed multiple advanced PRI courses, demonstrated a thorough understanding of the science through completion of the PRC application, and successfully participated in both clinical and analytical testing.  To date, 138 professionals have earned the designation of Postural Restoration Certified™(PRC) under the direction of Ron Hruska, MPA, PT.

The Postural Restoration Institute® established this credentialing process in 2004 as a way to recognize and identify individuals with advanced training, extraordinary interest and devotion to the science of postural adaptations, asymmetrical patterns and the influence of polyarticular chains of muscles on the human body as defined by the Postural Restoration Institute®.  Postural Restoration Certified™ (PRC) is available to physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists and chiropractors who have completed the requirements.

PRC professionals offer a unique approach to physical medicine called Postural Restoration®. This approach addresses underlying biomechanics which can often lead to symptoms of pain and dysfunction. All mechanical influences on the body that restrict movement and contribute to improper joint and muscle position are considered, examined, and assessed. Manual and non-manual techniques are utilized to restore proper alignment of the body while proper respiratory dynamics are considered. Treatment encompasses prevention and lifetime integration for long-term successful outcomes.

The Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) was founded in Lincoln, Nebraska and the science is taught to physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors and other allied health and fitness professionals across the country.
