Postural Restoration (PRI)

Postural Restoration (PRI) is a method that works with breath, posture, and movement to support the autonomic nervous system's capacity for self-regulation. Rather than treating posture as a mechanical issue to correct, PRI treats it as an expression of how the nervous system currently organizes itself — and works to expand the range of strategies available to it.

Sessions run 90 to 120 minutes. The length allows for a thorough examination — a detailed history together with a series of movement and breathing assessments — aimed at understanding the root causes behind a pattern, not just its symptoms. Rather than simply offering a diagnosis and a fix, the aim is lasting change: helping each patient understand their own tendencies, and the process we develop together to address them.

People commonly come to me with neck and shoulder pain, back pain, headaches, hip pain, and foot or knee pain, among other things.

PRI was developed by the Postural Restoration Institute. More information on the method is available at posturalrestoration.com.
