A Collaborative Event for Dentists and Movement Specialists

The human body is naturally asymmetrical — from the structure of the brain to the organization of our cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. This built-in asymmetry impacts everything from how we move to how we breathe.

The Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) provides a methodology that helps movement professionals understand and work with these natural patterns, rather than against them. But how do these patterns relate to dental health, airway function, and patient outcomes?

Why Attend?

This session introduces you to the essential concepts behind PRI and how they connect to your work as a healthcare provider. Learn how a shared understanding of the body’s asymmetry — and its relationship to oral posture, occlusion, and sensory input — can unlock better care strategies across disciplines.

Join us for this powerful introduction to whole-patient, pattern-based care.
