Dr. Frank Mallon: Holistic Postural Restoration

Welcome back to the Movement Professional podcast. This week, I am joined by fellow movement professional, Dr. Frank Mallon. Frank is the first Certified Postural Restoration Institute Practitioner (PRC) in the state of Pennsylvania. The Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) is an organization founded by physical therapist, Ron Hruska, and appreciates our natural human asymmetry and the issues that affect our biomechanical and neurologic state around those asymmetries. Combining all methods of his vast education, Frank is an Integration specialist working collaboratively onsite with dentists and neuro-optometrists in the Philadelphia area since 2015. He has served as the private physical therapist to numerous professional and Team USA athletes including Super Bowl champions, first-round draft picks, Pro-Bowl athletes, Olympic medalists, and World champions. He is also an adjunct professor at Arcadia University, and frequently mentors clinicians on the principles of human asymmetry and its influences on bio-mechanical and neurologic function, position, posture, and movement. It’s an honor to have Frank join me on the podcast. Specifically, we discuss the following: 1. Frank’s story of recovering from a cancer diagnosis and how he came to the work of PRI 2. Our varying ways of utilizing the PRI principles 3. Integrating orthopedics with dentistry and optometry 4. Optimism around physical therapists better being able to practice in a manner that optimizes quality care If you have questions or suggestions for content, don't hesitate to contact us via any of the platforms listed below and we will be happy to get back to you.
