Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) Philosophy and Treatment

Dr. Jenny interviews another family physical therapist who she has been working with. Learn how this very different approach helps posture and breathing.  Dan Houglum, PT is a physical therapist who has been treating for over 25 years.  He began learning the PRI approach in 2004, was certified in 2012, and became an instructor in 2016. He has been working with her own family for about a year and Dr. Jenny explains her experience.  PRI is not like other physical therapy approaches as it is not the typical manual therapy where you move and stretch joints and muscles for the patient. This technique identifies what areas of your ribcage are not moving or breathing well and how to restore proper airflow with the patient actively.  This then results in changes in ribcage position and spinal alignment. Listen in and learn more as these two top physical therapists have a great discussion about the philosophy.

Dr. Jenny Hobson is a head and neck, TMJ physical therapist,  protégé of renowned expert, Dr. Mariano Rocabado.  She is known for her treatment of TMJ, sleep disordered breathing, chronic headaches, concussion, neck pain, tinnitus, and postural dysfunctions.    Dr. Hobson is trained in myofunctional therapy and is certified in the Buteyko Breathing Method.  She treats in-person in Chicago and trains breathing virtually to those in need in the US, Europe and South America through the Hobson Institute.
