Welcome to the second episode of the Postural Restoration Podcast! In this episode, I am joined by James Anderson, MPT, PRC. Before the foundation of the Postural Restoration Institute (Episode 1) James’ Relationship and Mentorship with Ron Hruska grew. Initially hearing about Ron while attending Physical Therapy school at The University of Nebraska Medical Center James discovered that his approach was unlike the traditional coursework he was being taught at the time.

While considering his dedication to the field as a whole, this new approach re-ignited James and his desire to start a career within the field of Physical Therapy. Through other mentors and guidance James continually grew to know Ron and eventually they became very close friends. Prior to becoming involved with this institute James spent his early years out of school helping to teach introductory courses relating to the newly created Protonics Device. It was during these years that James’ appreciation and understanding of Human Asymmetry and Respiration grew strong.

James spent many years traveling and being mentored by Ron and together they co-taught many courses. Eventually James would become the second Faculty member for the Institute under the guidance and direction of Ron Hruska. In this episode James discusses the transition he made from a Myokinematic mindset, to his appreciation and dedication to Respiration and Breathing mechanics as part of this whole system approach. Currently James teaches Myokinematic Restoration, Postural Respiration, Impingement & Instability and co-instructs at all Affiliate programs currently being offered.

James’ dedication and passion to this science allowed him to take on a role as Director of PRI Affiliate courses, and has sinced worked with various PRI clinicians to put together several Affiliate programs. With the newly compiled PRI Integration for Pediatrics course there are now five affiliate courses including, PRI Integration for Geriatrics, PRI Integration for Baseball, PRI Integration for Fitness and Movement and PRI Integration for Pilates. 

James continues to remain passionate about mentorship and outreach and offers his time and experience with this institute as a resource to other PRI clinicians, students and patients. James and his family reside in St. George Utah and they enjoy all that the area has to offer especially Hiking, several recreational activities and visiting the many lakes in the area. James not only practices locally when home, but also offers consultation
