From the Egoscue Method affiliated practitioner directory, plus the Postural Restoration Institute certified list and the Foundation Training instructor network. The roster JSON merges these sources and groups practitioners by city for the directory build.

Egoscue Method is a sequence-based posture correction protocol. PRI emphasizes neuromuscular and respiratory patterns. They are different traditions with different practitioners. The directory surfaces both so visitors can choose the method that fits their goals.

No. Those are separate disciplines with their own credentialing bodies and directories. The posture directory focuses on Egoscue, PRI, and Foundation Training, which form a coherent category. Mixing other modalities would dilute the category signal.

The posturalFocus field captures spine, pelvis, hip, shoulder, and full-body focuses. Practitioners with experience across multiple areas are tagged with all relevant focuses, and the template renders those as filterable callouts on each city page.

Each city still gets a page. The template emphasizes the individual practitioner profile when the count is low rather than padding with comparison sections. Sparse cities still rank for local intent because the credential signal is consistent.

Egoscue maintains an affiliated practitioner network with verified credentials. The egoscueAffiliated count per row reflects only currently affiliated practitioners. Lapsed affiliations can appear in an inactive section, but headline numbers reflect current affiliations.

Yes. Each row supports a resources field that links to method-specific training videos and book recommendations. The template renders that as a sidebar, which helps visitors explore the method before committing to a paid practitioner session.

Egoscue updates affiliations annually. PRI publishes credential refreshes biannually. After each update, you merge new practitioners into the affected city rows and trigger a rebuild. Cities with new affiliations pick up updates and unchanged cities stay served from cache.
