Posture isn’t about holding still or straight — it’s about being able to move, breathe, and rest with ease.

“Good” posture isn’t straight… it’s dynamic, adaptable, and accessible.

Join us Tuesday, Nov 5 @ 5:30 (CT) for Cocktails & Conversations: The Truth About Posture
📍 Live on YouTube and Facebook
🔗 https://www.youtube.com/live/dtm-A7jqnSY?si=stQWsgp3JKt-3TF3 (YouTube livestream link)

We’ll talk about why the only bad posture… is a limited one.

What posture advice have you been told that never quite worked?

New Blog from Jason out now on Hip Impingement Mechanics and PREVENTION!
"Muscle imbalances and hip impingement are often interconnected, and understanding this relationship is crucial for both managing your symptoms and preventing further dysfunction. When certain muscles are too tight, too weak, or not activating properly, it alters the mechanics of the hip joint, increasing the likelihood of impingement."

When women are pregnant, our bodies go through massive changes. After giving birth, there is this idea that we “bounce back” after 6 weeks and then everything is fine. Some people might do well and have no pressure regulation issues, but others may need some physical therapy to help them out.
I had a client whom I saw after she started working out following her second child. She unfortunately injured herself while working out. We were able to get her pelvic floor working correctly, be able to regulate pressure, and improved glute and abdominal strength. She did great and then about 2 years later she was back on my schedule. She had baby #3 and automatically wanted to come in to get tested out and see what she needed to work on in order to prevent getting injured.
This was a great example of not being in pain or being injured, but coming in to help prevent any sort of injury. I tell my patients to think of us like going to the dentist. Come in 1-2x/year for a check up to make sure you are still in a good position to prevent an injury. -Ann

Now out on YouTube!! Our conversation with Liz Cash and how she uses Postural Restoration Institute concepts with camera operators in the film industry. Liz shares how she applies movement and postural awareness to the unique stresses of filmmaking — from long days on set to carrying heavy gear — and how small changes in body position and breathing can make a huge difference.

Whether you’re a camera operator, PT, movement specialist, or just someone interested in keeping your body working better for longer, this conversation bridges the gap between performance, posture, and real-world application. Thanks Liz, for sharing your world with us!

Operating a Steadicam or camera rig isn’t just art — it’s athleticism. In this episode, we sit down with Liz Cash, a movement specialist who integrates Postu...

Coming soon!! Ann had the opportunity this morning to sit down and have a Conversation with Liz Cash, who is a trainer in the film industry who utilizes concepts entirely for injury prevention in her job. Her mindset really shows how the concepts we utilize here at the Hruska Clinic, and designed by the Postural Restoration Institute can have a significant impact not only on rehabilitation but on injury prevention! Thanks to Liz ( )for sitting down to talk with us and discussing what she does! Full video coming soon!

Injury prevention for shoulders starts at the rib cage! If you can't move your ribs correctly you can't move your shoulder correctly. This puts you at risk for impingement syndromes, tendonitis, and strain of the shoulder. Watch Dave show how this interaction happens!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In case you missed it we did our October Cocktails and Conversations Livestream last night. We started to celebrate PT month thinking about why we are physical therapists and then dove into how PT is more than just rehab and especially with PRI concepts we can have a tremendous impact on injury prevention. Watch to hear some actionable tips for injury prevention and keep an eye out for more videos and content specifically with injury prevention in mind this month!

Usually when you see a Physical Therapist it is after an injury. This month we want to discuss how the approach we use, Postural Restoration, not only is good for recovery but in the long run helps with preventing return of injuries or new injuries. We will discuss how we look at lots of different types of common injuries and ways we would look at reducing risk of those injuries even happening! Grab a drink, and enjoy. Please comment your questions if you have them!
