"EXPERT" IN THE FIELD

I've been certified in Postural Restoration (PRI) for 11 yrs now. I was one of the first 50 clinicians to be certified IN THE WORLD. I've enjoyed watched the understanding & awareness of the science grow year after year. I've been sought out from the tri-state area (TN, AL, GA) by clients and colleagues, alike, for my expertise in the science of PRI. I mean, I know it all, right??! Ha! This is exactly what I love about the @posturalrestorationinstitute that I've been so honored to be a part of for so long. Over the past 11 yrs, the discoveries and research continued... courses that I took way-back-when have been expanded into multiple courses. The concepts are the same, but the understanding, details and applications continue to expand. I've been watching this evolve from the sidelines for several years now, but finally realized I needed to dive back in! This was increasingly evident this past weekend. What I learned in 1 course back in 2008 is now covered in 3 courses! I took Course 1 this weekend & boy, was my mind was challenged. But, my heart was full. If you don't believe me, look at all those notes!! ... Taken by an "expert" in the science. WHAT EVEN IS AN EXPERT? But, man, I wish you could all see the smiles & laughter on my face all along.

I challenge you to keep growing, keep learning, never settle. Push yourself out of your comfort zone. That's where the best you awaits! Don't know what this science of Postural Restoration is all about? Reach out & I'll be more than happy to tell you all about it! It will make my heart happy. 😊 💗, Kristen PS - Look forward to some new insights on the neck. If you don't understand the relationship it has to to your whole body, your entire wellbeing, you're missing "IT". Thanks, Ron :) #posturalrestoration #prination #icymi #neversettle #cervicalrevolution #alwayslearning

Therapists Need Advice, Too!

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice. She had been dealing with some hip pain that seemed to have started when she started increasing her strength training regime. My "R hip, feels like "impingement," but also trigger points in piriformis and adductors. I just can't get them to shut off!" Spoken like a true PT 😅 I gave her pictures of 2 new exercises to try via messenger. 5 DAYS LATER, I receive this: "Messaging to tell you you're my hero. That seated stretch is AH-mazing. I have worked out all week with zero pain." It really CAN be that simple! I have recently launched the Pain Relief Coaching program to offer you all the same Quick, Easy, and Effective advice.

My Challenge = Your Gain

As many of you know, I've been utilizing the concepts of Postural Restoration®️ (PRI®️) for a real long time now. I took my first class in 2007 and was one of the first 47 certified in the world by the end of 2009. Since the first time I heard the explanation of common asymmetrical patterns due to our underlying asymmetrical anatomical influences (diaphragm, liver, lungs, etc), I felt justified. I had been seeing these patterns for years, but didn't fully grasp why. I knew I wanted to learn a better way of treating my patients, but this was SO DIFFERENT. Controversial, in fact. One of my first thoughts was "man, all the people I struggled to help that I could have helped." I doubted what I was taught in school. I realized that accepting these concepts meant accepting that I may not have given my past patients what they really needed. I could have turned my head from it - The challenge. The uncertainty. The starting all over again. Instead, I dove all ...

Understanding the Pelvic Floor - GAMECHANGER!

WHY ARE YOU CARRYING THAT EVERYWHERE, MOM? If you've bumped into me lately, you've likely seen this new "friend" poking out of my bag or sitting on my desk. I've had a "bones only" pelvis for a while now, but this one is a new addition. I've been under the wing of the great @hayleykavapt this month tackling a deeper understanding of the pelvic floor. I've understood how to INFLUENCE those deep muscles via the bony positioning and activation of the larger muscles surrounding the pelvis, but I didn't fully understand how to ACTIVATE and RELAX those muscles and when. I was pretty intimidated by those deep pelvis muscles, to be honest. I can say that adding this awareness and cueing to the exercises I've been giving out for years has made a huge difference in myself... and I'm excited to share this new appreciation with you! After just a few times practicing, my feet felt much more grounded when running today! Better hamstring and glute ...
