WHAT IS PRI?   

At The Body School we utilise concepts from the Postural Restoration Institute to help our members overcome patterns of asymmetric overuse resulting in pain, movement limitation and postural problems. We strive to lead our members out of pain and towards feeling strong via a progressive journey.

All of our coaches have received extensive education directly from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and are highly committed to continuing their education as a lifelong process.

PRI is an institute that studies the asymmetries that are inherent to the human body and the impact that the overuse of these asymmetries has in how we breathe, stabilise, move and position ourselves.

Our posture and habitual movement patterns are a reflection of these asymmetrical patterns.

Pain and issues experienced only on one side of the body can be explained by these underlying asymmetries. Limitations in joint mobility on one or both sides of the body can often be traced back to the patterns of asymmetry.

Besides posture, mobility, musculoskeletal pain, movement restrictions, these asymmetries are also impacting our neurological states. Feelings of being stuck in constant fight or flight, and not being able to truly relax are directly linked to these imbalances.

The postural restoration institute has developed a highly effective approach to treating the underlying root cause behind these issues. Through specific techniques that re-position and re-train the body, we can restore balance within the system.

Many people who have failed to resolve their issues via conventional approaches, have seen tremendous improvement through the PRI approach.

All of our coaches have extensive experience applying PRI in a one on one setting and continue to work with clients locally as well as via zoom. We have been fortunate enough to see the impact PRI can have on even the most complex cases and are therefore extremely passionate to make these concepts as accessible to anyone in need, wherever in the world they may be.

While we are aware that nothing could ever compare to seeing a PRI provider in person on a regular basis, we know that for many people in the world this is not a possibility.

We firmly believe that the basic principles and skills everyone needs to learn, regardless of how complex the situation, can be learnt on our platform.

Depending in your situation, you may find that:

1. Your issues resolve from learning and applying what we teach on here

2. Our platform is just the beginning for you. By seeing some improvement, you may decide to connect to a PRI practitioner in person to receive very personalised treatment

3. Our platform is a helpful additional resource to the work you are already doing with a PRI practitioner.

However you decide to use this our services, we couldn’t be more grateful to be part of your journey.
