LONG TERM PRSI BREAK USER

I have been using PRSI Break for several years to relieve the discomfort of carpal tunnel and shoulder/back pain due to a whiplash injury. I have noticed a significant improvement in terms of pain reduction as PRSI provides the reminder I need throughout the day to take a “body break”. I would recommend the product to anyone who experiences stress and/or discomfort from injury, or as a preventative measure for overall body health. Dennis Kaminsky, Regina, Sk.

JOSEPH HELLER - FOUNDER OF HELLERWORK STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

As practitioners, we know that movement between SI sessions is necessary to maintain and enhance the awareness and benefits gained from each session.

This movement needs to:

keep connective tissue fluid and flexible,
help the body stay naturally aligned, and
reduce stress.

Identifying the movements to do and then remembering to fit them in to the work day regularly can be a challenge.

Denny Rudy, a Hellerwork practitioner since 1998, and his partner have created PRSI Break, a customizable software program that fulfills these needs.

First, PRSI Break reminds users to take a break. It then demonstrates stretches, move by move, designed to improve flexibility and range of motion, maintain structural alignment and relieve tension.

The program contains a pre-set hourly program for office workers and can also be completely customized. I strongly recommend PRSI Break as a resource for clients, for practitioners and as an injury prevention solution.

Since I have started using PRSI, both at home and at work, I find that I have more energy to do my work. More importantly, I have more energy at the end of the day. I've also recently been in an accident which caused me shoulder, neck and back injuries. PRSI stretches help to alleviate that pain.

Further, at work I'm often quite busy and overwhelmed, and it's tempting to 'skip' a PRSI break, but I can tell the days when I let myself do this. I feel stiffer on those days, I feel 'gluey'. Stopping for 5 minutes in an hour, in and of itself, is a good habit, but add to that focused breathing and stretches - well, the benefits are obvious.

Not only am I more energetic and better able to focus, I simply don’t feel as much stress at work or as tight and sore at the end of the day – particularly in my areas of injury. That gluey feeling isn’t there and I feel more fluid and loose. I also work better when I take a few minutes to stretch. It gives my brain a much needed stretch too, which leaves me not only more productive, but also in a better state of mind. What more can you ask for? Krista Baliko, Regina

MUSICIAN

"PRSI Break forces me to relax, slow down and breathe. I immediately feel more calm, and the area of body I'm working on opens up and releases all tension. As a musician, I have run into many physical problems. Using PRSI before I play, I feel more focused, and my body is relaxed so my practice isn't frantic or tense which can cause physical pain. It has shown me the importance of stretching - muscles need to be warmed up before Anything and anyone can easily use PRSI. I was using PRSI only before and after I played/practiced, but I find I additionally like to use it in the morning and before I go to bed, to begin and end the day in a relaxed manner. PRSI is great because it doesn't take a long time and it caters to your specific needs. The directions are clear and specific, and I enjoy how the program does the stretches along with you, so you have a visual and auditory aid." Danielle Sametz, Musician (Violin, Piano), Brandon
