What is PRI(Postural Restoration Institute)

For those of you who are current or prior clients of FuncPhysio, you may hear “neutrality”, “patterned”, “pathological pattern”,  “Left AIC pattern”, ”Right BC pattern”, ”Right TMCC pattern”, “Superior T4”, “PEC pattern”, “Cranial Left side bending”, and “Right torsion.

The human body is not symmetrical. The neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, and vision systems are not the same on the left side of the body as they are on the right, and vice versa. They have different responsibilities, functions, positions, and demands on them. This system asymmetry is a good thing and an amazing design. The human body is balanced through the integration of system imbalances.

Is body asymmetry the root cause of your pain? PRI can help!

Vision, occlusion, hearing, foot pressure, occupational demands, in-uterine position, etc. can all influence asymmetrical tendencies and patterns. PRI recognizes the more common integrated patterns of human stance, extremity use, respiratory function, vestibular imbalance, mandibular orientation, and foot dynamics; and balances these patterns, as much as possible through specific exercise techniques that integrate correct respiration with the left side or right side inhibitory or facilitatory function.


PRI certified therapists understands asymmetrical demands on a body which may cause movement dysfunctions, postural compensation, musculoskeletal pain, as well as autonomic nervous system disturbances. Dr.Takada works with a multidisciplinary team including, but not limited to, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, myofunctional therapists, and training professionals to provide holistic treatment.
