Postural Restoration Centers™ are specialized facilities dedicated to providing high-quality care using Postural Restoration® techniques. Established in 2004, these centers offer a network of credentialed professionals trained in the Postural Restoration® science. This document outlines the requirements, benefits, and processes involved in becoming and maintaining status as a Postural Restoration Center™, as well as the unique advantages it offers to healthcare providers and patients alike.
What is a Postural Restoration Center™?
Postural Restoration Centers™ were first established and identified in 2004 as a way to make accessible to the general public and healthcare community, a national network of Postural Restoration® providers. Postural Restoration Centers™ are places of business where patients or clients are able to receive care by a Postural Restoration® credentialed individual or by a professional proficient in the Postural Restoration® science using appropriate PRI manual or non-manual techniques.

Maintaining Postural Restoration Center™ Status
In order to maintain your Postural Restoration Center™ status, the individual who has earned the PRC or PRT designation must be ‘readily accessible’ and/or an ‘active clinician’ on-site and all other professionals who are eligible for PRI credentialing employed by the center (full-time AND part-time) must have attended two PRI sponsored courses AND regularly consult or collaborate with the PRC or PRT to ensure proper use of techniques. In order to maintain high standards of care received from professionals of a Postural Restoration Center™, clinical involvement offered remotely does not meet the standards of a Postural Restoration Center™.
Postural Restoration Centers™ will be reviewed annually for maintaining these standards. An electronic renewal application form will be available on the PRI website, and is due on July 1st of each year. PRI reserves the right to randomly audit Postural Restoration Centers™ to ensure compliance with the above requirements. Postural Restoration Centers™ will be given an opportunity to regain Postural Restoration Center™ status if temporarily lost due to non-compliance with the standards listed above.
