Postural Reconstruction® (PR®) is a neuromuscular technique based on the concept that tonic imbalance in the muscular chains of the body leads to muscular shortening causing postural deformations, structural alterations, mechanical dysfunction, movement pattern disorder and pain. Physical Therapists trained in PR® use various hands-on techniques, combined with active client participation, to overcome the hypertonicity of the muscle chains, work towards normalizing muscle tone in order to restore more normal morphology and improve functional abilities. In general, a series of 12 - 20 treatments of weekly 1 to 1½ hours is necessary to obtain lasting results.
