Thank you Postural Restoration Institute for spotlighting Jeremiah!
PRI Provider Spotlight: Jeremiah Ferguson, DPT, PRC
1. When and why did you begin taking PRI courses, and in turn what was it that hooked you at your first course?
I took my first PRI course in 2014. taught Myokinematic Restoration in Everett, WA. My business partners (Murph, & Eli), and I had heard about PRI from other PT's and fitness professionals online. I was ready to learn something new. I was hooked by the PRI community and complexity of the material. I remember feeling like my life would never be the same. Now eight years later, I have taken nearly 30 courses. Murph, Eli and I started Alpine PT in 2016 with the dream of emulating the Hruska Clinic. We completed PRC testing together in 2018 and have been privileged to host several courses. I am forever grateful for the personal and professional impact that the PRI community has had on my life.
2. What has been the most profound impact that PRI has had on you, either personally or professionally?
PRI has impacted me personally by the sense of community. I quickly noticed this with the PRI faculty as well as with the therapists that worked at Olympic PT where I took my first course. Now I get to go to work every day with my best friends. This personal connection has been the fertilizer to my professional growth. Murph and Eli encourage, support, and challenge me. With our shared vision, I have a sense of belonging and purpose in my professional life.
3. In what ways has attaining the PRC or PRT credential changed you and/or your practice?
Attaining the PRC credential was a capstone for my professional life. The foundation was my PRI community, the materials, and being challenged to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the science. Being a PRC in practice means I am constantly challenging myself to learn from my patients and the world around me. The science of PRI is constantly evolving and a PRC needs to grow along with the science.
