Postural Restoration (PRI) in Melbourne
Struggling with pain that keeps coming back, no matter how much you stretch, strengthen, or get treatment?
​
Postural Restoration (PRI) is a different approach. Instead of focusing only on muscles or joints, it looks at how your body is patterned, how you breathe, shift weight, and move.
​
At Gestalt Movement & Myotherapy, PRI is used to identify and correct the underlying imbalances that drive chronic pain and dysfunction.
Find the root cause of pain not just the symptoms
​
Who this is for
PRI may be right for you if you have:
Ongoing back, neck, or hip pain
One-sided tightness or imbalance
Injuries that keep returning
Poor posture that doesn’t improve
Breathing restriction or tension
Tried physio, massage, or chiro without lasting results
If your symptoms keep coming back, there’s usually a deeper pattern driving them. PRI is designed to address that.
​
What makes PRI different
Most treatments focus on:
Tight muscles
Weak muscles
Local areas of pain
PRI looks at the bigger picture.
It recognises that the human body is naturally asymmetrical — and over time, this can lead to predictable patterns of imbalance.
These patterns affect:
Your posture
Your breathing
How you walk, run, and move
Where you feel pain
​
​​
How PRI works
Treatment focuses on three key areas:
1. Breathing
Restoring proper diaphragm function to reduce tension and improve control.
2. Position
Re-aligning the pelvis and ribcage to bring your body back to neutral.
3. Movement
Helping you shift weight and move evenly between both sides of your body.
This allows your system to reset — so muscles and joints can function the way they’re supposed to.

​
What to expect in a session
A PRI session is different from standard treatment.
It may include:
Assessment of breathing and posture
Movement testing to identify asymmetries
Specific exercises to reposition the body
Guided breathing techniques
Education so you understand what’s happening
