POSTURAL RESTORATION

Postural Restoration (PRI) is a specialized therapy that addresses the asymmetrical body; the left and right sides of our body are not the same. This treatment is based on the way irregularities in the symmetry of our bodies can greatly affect posture and movement.

Many people are aware that the left side of our brain controls the ride side of our body while the right controls the left.  What you may not know is that just by being left handed, we use our left side of the body more than the right and the opposite for right handedness.  This in turn causes our muscles to be more developed on one side then the other.  Often times, this imbalance can be the cause of pain, fatigue, headaches, and neck tension. 

These imbalances limit our function because our muscles and joints are unable to move within their normal range due to restrictions within our soft tissue and bones. Restoring our postural balance requires retraining our body’s neurological and muscular memory. This is achieved trough an individualized physical therapy treatment plan. 

Therapy sessions are designed to treat the imbalance and return the body to a more neutral state to achieve optimal performance for all of life's activities

Andrew has devoted a great deal of his time to learning the practice of Postural Restoration and has been certified in PRI since 2016.
