The Effects of Respiratory-Muscle Exercise on Spinal Curvature

Jason Robey, MS, ATC, CSCS, PRT sent us this excellent article from the current issue of Journal of Sports Rehabilitation, Effects of Respiratory-Muscle Exercise on Spinal Curvature. The device used with swimmers in this study for respiratory-muscle training is similar to the PowerLung trainer shown on the products page of our website. The study concluded that respiratory-muscle training exercises do influence spinal curvature, improving postural stability! We have added this article to the reference list for our Postural Respiration and Advanced Integration courses.

Clarity = clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding

Michael Mullin, ATC, PTA, PRC sent us a testimonial he titled “Clarity” on his experience with PRI over the past few years. 

“I have been fortunate enough to have spent the last 10 years growing and learning through the PRI “process”, and an incredible process it has been.  Over those years, I have remembered and made notes of some key phrases which at times I would just stare at Ron, James or Mike and it might not really register what they were trying to get across.  As I have become more proficient and gained an enriched knowledge of PRI, some of these statements have come through with such clarity that I feel like at times I have an “Ah-ha!” moment which only further enriches my understanding.”  To read more, CLICK HERE!
