Bump...Anybody?
Hello? Surely someone in LRC land has had this type of therapy.
I have actually just started a lot of PRI exercises - I am curious about this too. Can anyone else chime in on the subject?

Nice story bro, keep us posted.
I'm bumping this because I just visited a physical therapist who is a big proponent of Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) therapy. I never heard of it before and the things she said and recommended were WAY different than anything I have ever experienced before.
She talked about all of my problems stemmed from being misaligned and most of that gets fixed through training the diaphragm in various positions. I'm not going to knock anything yet, I will give it a try for a few weeks and see how it goes, but I am skeptical and it kind of seems like she's part of a cult.
Anyone have any experience with PRI?
Hi, I've been doing PRI for a few weeks now. It's evidence-based and beyond that, it's extremly effective. It takes a while for it to work, but when it does it's like suddenly things in your body start connecting that you didn't realize were supposed to. You really feel like your body is waking up in a good way. Honestly it only took as long as it did for me because I didn't get it totally. I'm stil learning but really... It's something that is worth giving a really good try. I mean, what's the harm at the end of the day? I can only tell you that I promise, if you give it a good try then it will work for you. It works because of the way we're built as human beings. You would have to have a really serious physical defect for it not to. I haven't felt this hopeful about things in a long time. I had to stop running years ago because I had so much pain. I might actually be able to go back to it again.
I've been doing PRI for about a year and half now and have mixed feelings about it.
I still do my exercises daily because I think there is value in them, but there is a tendency for physical therapists who are PRI proponents to get sucked into the philosophy in an almost cult like fashion, believing it is a one size fits all solution to every ailment, similar to what you could see from a chiropractor. Sometimes the PRI approach is a little too holistic.
