More Train, Less Pain; Engineering the Adaptable Athlete

Caving to listener pressure, Michelle and Tim sit down to talk AGAIN about PRI, this time with a focus on the practical, day-to-day applications, both in the weight room and PT clinic. They chat about the relative utility of an asymmetrical movement lens, minor tweaks to common weight room exercises to improve both range of motion and fitness outcomes, whether or not a FULL exhalation is desired during resets, the “stack”, and oh-so-much more! If you’re a trainer or physio either interested in PRI, or you’ve been exposed to some material and want to get further insight into how to apply it, this is the episode for YOU! If you haven’t listened to their Season 1 episode titled “What PRI Got Right”, start there FIRST, as that episode presents some foundational information that is built upon in this one.  A *disclaimer*; neither Tim or Michelle are affiliated with, or representatives of the Postural Restoration Institute in any way, shape, or form.

The information and opinions they share in this episode is theirs and theirs alone, and should not be taken as the position of the Institute.
