Physical Therapists
"I have been in PT practice for 14 years. I have a strong manual therapy background and have prided myself as a fairly accomplished clinician with an above average "batting average" of positive patient outcomes. I was first exposed to PRRT in 2004 and I must say that I was quite skeptical of its claims and efficacy. I could not conceive that the implementation of what I considered to be such a simple concept of reciprocal inhibition as well as the evoking of primal latent reflexes could have such a profound effect in altering a patient's neuromuscular system and thereby significantly reducing, or in many cases, eliminating their source of pain. After completing the Basic course I was having spotty successes with the techniques to the point where I began to abandon its use. In retrospect I believe that my hit and miss success rate with PRRT was in part influenced by my myopic view of the physical therapy treatment model with a mechanical focus on the patient's source of pain and dysfunction. Upon participating in the online chat group with many other highly accomplished colleagues throughout the country my curiosity was reignited in PRRT and I partook in the Intermediate course last year. Revisiting PRRT at the intermediate level opened my eyes to approaching musculo-skeletal pain from a different perspective that was previously outside my comfort zone. Since then there has been no looking back as my experiences with the implementation of these techniques have been nothing short of remarkable! I am even further pleased to report that after completing the Advanced course this summer the results that most of my patients experience continues to astound myself and my staff on a daily basis. At this point in time I truly believe that PRRT has empowered me to become 10 times the clinician I was in the past. I am grateful to John Iams for discovering this significant piece of the "pain puzzel" and I believe that he should be recognized for making an awesome contribution to the field of healing arts."
George G. Girolami, PT, OCS, MTC, Atlanta, GA

"PRRT™ has been a breath of fresh air in my practice. I have been successful in treating with neuromuscloskeletal pathology for 20 years. You always know in the back of your mind that there must be a way that either improves the speed of "healing" and/or resolution of symptoms, or there must be some other means of providing pain relief to people who do not respond to other techniques or modalities. Well, PRRT™ is that way. Based on science that we have had a t our disposal for decades, John Iams has put together an evaluation tool and treatment technique that radically reduces pain and improves function."
-Larry Steinbeck, PT, private practice, Kennesaw, GA

-Victor Romero, PT, private practice, Paso Robles, CA
"Having been in the field for over 19 years, until I stumbled on to PRRT™, I had no idea about the intimate correlation between the inner world & the outer world - our mental & physical asin theses techniques. I can very well say that all these years it was a hit & miss at getting patients better without any real predictability, but no, armed with PRRT™ & the allied holistic approach of nutrition, & based on the tearful thanks & gratitude from very satisfied patients with long-standing pain histories, I feel I make a difference in the patient's well being, & that too without relying on machines, pills etc... wheter it is EBR'd or not! I am ever grateful to John!"
-Dhaval Buch, PT, private practice, Bakersfield, CA
"I walked into a meeting with two physiatrists, one neurologist and one nurse practitioner and I said, "who has pain right now?" PRRT™ has given me the confidence (and skill) to do that. (BTW: Her pain rate went from 5/10 to zero in 7 minutes!)"
-Oren Bar, PT, Lafayette, LA
"Thank you for a terrific course!!. I have already had a couple of successes."
-Ben Svenstrup, PT, BC, Canada
"I can say with confidence that this new approach is a worthy tool in any maual therapist belt. In fact, it is probably the most important because of it's ability to "unlock" the neurological sytsem allowing for the permanency that often lacks with our current manual therapy techniques. I KNOW adding this to my "bag of tricks" has been a turning point in achieving faster patient outcomes, and the reverberating sound of "That's amazing" in clinic."

"Having been a PT for 28 years. I have become skeptical about new techniques... I bought the videos to see if I could duplicate the impressive results and found (them to be) very clear and easy to follow; and I was able to duplicate his techniques easily.

-Dan Gullotta P.T., M.A., C.Y.T., Polson, MT (private practice)
"John demonstrated how to asses for pain reflex dysfunction, taking only a few minutes and giving instant results. Immediately I started utlizing the Primal Reflex Release Techniques™. For example I was visiting my accountant and one of her employees was experiencing constant LBP for the past six months and nothing has helped her....I performed John's technique for the illipsoas. I then restested her flexion standing, she was pain free. Palpation of both illopsoas was mildly tender and much looser. It has been two years now and she still has no pain"
-Eric Rohozinski, P.T., Wailuku, HI (private practice)

"PRRT has become an integral part of my everyday treatments. For total knees I very rarely have difficulty with the stuborn kneee flexion contracture by addressing the withdrawl reflex and quieting down the iliopsoas and ham strings response to the post surgical pain. Post op plastic surgery patients that have emotional reactions to the early post surgical appearance that is far different then they had fantisized. For the treatments of Rotator cuff tears and repairs and the neck and back patients it significantly reduses the length of stay in PT
Tom Cole, P.T., Stuart, FL

"Since I first began utilizing PRRT as part of my practice, I find my results much faster, patients more satisfied (often amazed), and am treating more patients than I ever did before. PRRT has changed my entire practice. I have come to expect at least 50% improvement within my first twenty minutes with a patient, something that would have taken weeks without PRRT. I have never found anything as revolutionary in my 25 years of practice."
Dede Lewis, P.T., Salt Lake City, UT
"PRRT has become an indispensable part of my practice."
Mari Gish, P.T., Minato-ku,Tokyo

"PRRT has and will continue to revolutionize the rehabilitation field. In over 25 years of practice, I have never felt so strongly about a technique or treatment pilosophy. Management of restrictive pain patterns can be achieved in seconds, allowing the manual practioner to focus on the true cause of the disfuction.
Terry Woolery, P.T., Las Vegas, NV
"I have been practicing as a physical therapist for 30 years, but never have I had so much success treating patients than for the past 2 years using PRRT techniques. It has re-energized my desire to see the chronic pain as well as the acute pain patients. I now look forward to the patients that have failed with other types of treatment and with other therapists. I will forever be thankful that I am having the opportunity to use PRRT and see the drastic results before I end my career as a therapist. It actually makes me wish I was just starting out again as a physical therapist, so I could have helped all of those patients that never responded to traditional physical therapy treatments. Thank you John Iams. I love my work and my patients."

I had a patient with fibromyalgia who had been seen for 3 months by 2 other PT's in our practice with no change in her symptoms. After just 2 PRRT session and using the level basic techniques she reported she was 80% better. I am not sure who was more astonished myself or the patient."

"Primal Reflex Release Techniques (PRRT), developed by John Iams, PT, have paved the foundation for me to own and operate a successful fee for service(cash) practice, even in today's economy! My practice continues to grow and flourish based upon the results I achieve with clients using PRRT techniques and concepts. I would like to share a recent experience as evidence of the successes afforded me through John's work: This calendar year, 2009, I have thus far received prepaid cash payments totaling $30,000.00 from two (2)clients! EVEN IN THIS ECONOMY! You CAN build a successful cash practice in hard economic times, IF you have the proper training and skills to achieve rapid, lasting results with your clients. PRRT will change your personal and professional outlook, and there may have never been a more appropriate time for those changes than right now!"
