A Complete Recovery Solution

Our PICL program was developed in close collaboration with the Centeno-Schultz clinic to help their clients prepare for their upcoming PICL procedures.  The program conditions you to perform all your daily tasks post-procedure without forward head posture.  

You will be medically guided through 9 levels of neutral spine conditioning to break the faulty loading patterns contributing to your upper cervical instability.  You will learn how to position your skull in its neutral positioning on C1 to strengthen the muscles that keep it there for safe progression into fitness.  

We are experts in teaching you the exercises, lifestyle modifications and joint clearing techniques required to restore healthy loading through your neck.  

Visit our Pricing page for cost projections.

Patient Population:  The PICL Protocol was developed for anyone scheduled for an upcoming PICL procedure, anyone trying to avoid a PICL procedure and anyone that has had the PICL procedure that still has forward head posture.
