PRI Method in Goalie Training: Enhance Stability and Performance

Bringing you into the world of Postural Restoration (PRI) and how it can improve your mobility. Today, looking at two two key exercises for hockey goalies: the 90/90 Hip Lift for hip flexor inhibition and the Left Glute Med - Side Lying for improving your lateral stability.
See how these PRI exercises can help you achieve better alignment, enhance your breathing, and provide the stability you need to make those quick, powerful moves. I’ll walk through each exercise step-by-step, ensuring you understand how to perform them correctly and integrate them into your training for maximum impact.
If you’re ready to elevate your performance, reduce injury risks, and optimize your goalie mobility, you’re in the right place. Let’s get started on this journey to unlocking your full potential, one exercise at a time.

Another classic. Absolutely amazing toes and feet. This is awesome. Thank you

[@jt-moneyHockey]

brilliant!

I discovered PRI a few months ago. It explained why stretching never worked, why I was more flexible on one side over the other and why I was good on one post but not the other etc. The changes are instant but it takes time to retrain your brain and muscles to stay in the correct place.

[@goalietraining]

Yes it does explain a lot and the purpose isn't to get the muscles to 'stay' in the correct place, but to re-educate the muscles and joints to at least have access to those equal and opposite positions in a functional way. It's a very cool way to look at the body.

[@sportysbusiness]

@@goalietraining Maybe I need to explain myself more clearly. I have developed compensatory patterns in my pelvis that have prevented me from correctly rotating joints and using muscles to their best. PRI is helping me to retrain my brain and muscles to use the correct patterns of firing and moving, not the compensatory patterns. To 'stay in the correct place', not resort to the compensatory patterns that were causing so many issues. Make more sense?

@@sportysbusiness wonderful - keep up the great work!

[@TheCincity62]

This sounds great . I am getting over a right knee meniscus tear so am malaligned right now due to limping etc so I will see if this will get me more ambidexterous again . Thank you as always

[@goalietraining]

Hope the knee is feeling better and better. This should help your body get used to the idea of using both sides in different patterns.

Hi Maria, thank you for this great informative video. What do you think about static stretching for 2 minutes hold after a workout? More and more people are saying that you should hold the streches for 2 minutes.
Thanks in advance!

[@goalietraining]

I am fine with using static stretches for specific purposes. You will hear a lot of different time frames for holds and again it depends a bit on the purpose. The truth is what's 'best' is very hard to study, so we are left to our judgement based on experience. I remember reading a meta-analysis many years ago pooling data from the studies on static stretching that had been doing to that point and the findings suggested that 30s was as good an any of the other hold durations. So I typically use 30s, unless I am really trying to work a chronically tight muscle and get it to release, then (along with other techniques) I will prescribe a longer duration.

Thank you very much!
