PRI
Mike and Beth have extensive training in PRI Evaluation and Treatment techniques as instructed by the Postural Restoration Institute.  This treatment technique is a holistic, posture-based approach that considers the influence of the muscles, bones, breathing and dental occlusion on health and wellness. The emphasis of PR is
on correcting faulty posture which is often the cause of complaints of pain and dysfunction.

Although eliminating the patient’s complaints of pain is always the goal, PR interventions may be directed toward other body areas such as the pelvis, hips, ribcage and diaphragm. For example, pelvic alignment is almost always restored first. As alignment is restored, muscles are exercised and the respiratory system is trained to function in this optimal position. As this process takes place, weak muscles become stronger, overworked muscles are allowed to relax, joint stress is reduced, breathing becomes easier, and function/performance are improved. Patients are then taught to modify their daily habits that contribute to faulty posture in order to reinforce good posture.

Many treatment options are available including PRI, core stabilization, joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, ergonomic training and physical therapy modalities (ultrasound, electrical stim, traction).

Cycling Injuries
As cycling becomes more popular among all ages and competitive cyclists and triathletes become more prevalent, the incidence of injury and pain has increased. Knee, neck, back, and upper extremity pain take the enjoyment out of cycling and limit performance. Changes in alignment can have a profound effect on comfort and performance. Edge therapists can not only evaluate posture and alignment of the body, but can also assess body position on the bike and modify your bike as needed.

Foot Orthotics
Foot posture and position has a tremendous influence on not only foot health but the health of knees, hips, back and more. At Edge PT, our therapists can determine the need for additional foot support, and then cast and fit for custom orthotics as necessary.
