"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

We Are ALL Asymmetrical - Why it Matters

Have you noticed a harder time with your front splits on one side? Or maybe it’s always been a struggle for you to get your turn-out on one side? No matter how much you stretch and strengthen, you will not achieve symmetry without compensation (which leads to injury). Here’s why … Our bodies are NOT symmetrical! Take a look at these images of different systems in our bodies. Notice how NONE of them are exactly the same on the left as the right. Illustration from Anatomy & Physiology, Connexions Website.

The Diaphragm - Actions - Innervation - TeachMeAnatomy The difference in the diaphragm dome height and attachment sites make every human better at inhaling into our left lungs and better at emptying our right lungs. These underlying asymmetries tha

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries. Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings. We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion. Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip. Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER). This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements. On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis. The medial hamstrings will pull the p

SoftWave Therapy - The Latest Technology in Regenerative Medicine

There is a new "secret weapon" hitting the Medical and Performance industries - SoftWave Therapy. It is the latest technology in Regenerative Medicine and has been tested extensively in Europe for the past decade. Recently making it's way into the U.S., SoftWave is quickly taking hold. We have been seeing exciting results with this device in our office over the past months, both immediate and long-term. Read on for a summary of what makes SoftWave so unique and effective! What is SoftWave? Softwave Therapy essentially “tricks” the body into thinking a fresh trauma has occurred. A series of pulses are applied to painful areas, which thin the cell membranes and alert the brain. This kick-starts the natural healing process without actually causing trauma . This response includes releasing RNA, attracting Stem Cells, increasing circulation, modulating inflammation, releasing growth factors involved in tissue regeneration, and forming new blood vessels
