"EXPERT" IN THE FIELD

 "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

How are Airway and Posture Related?

HOW ARE AIRWAY & POSTURE RELATED? When we think of "airway, we think of life-and-death situations and sleep apnea.  But, there is so much more to our ability to pull air into our lungs freely and evenly and to expel carbon dioxide.  Our alignment and muscle tone play a pivotal role in our ability to maintain a symmetrical, un-restricted airflow.  You see, the respiratory system is a bo dy-wide, interconnected and closed system. There are often clues our body is giving us that there is a restriction somewhere to free, full airflow. Often times, the restrictions are located quite a distance from our nose and mouth! Key Points First of all, it is not common knowledge, but we actually have 4 diaphragms (some even say 5) that all influence each other.  They act as one closed, pressurized system.  If there is an issue with the function of one of the diaphragms, it will influence the others. Another key concept is that our main diaphra...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

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. No appointments necessary! If you'd like to stay in the loop about this program, hop over to my IG acct  @your_pain_relief_coach .
