Don’t miss this opportunity!We are gearing up for the Myokinematic Restoration course being held here at PRI on October 9-10. If you have never been to this course before, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. We will have 3 course speakers present at this course (James Anderson, Jen Poulin, & Ron Hruska). Having 3 speakers on site during this course will provide for excellent dialogue and very low speaker to attendee ratio. Everyone in the room will have plenty of opportunity to learn from all 3 of these experienced individuals as well as get all of your questions answered! Early registration ends Friday September 10th so register soon! 2011 Course ScheduleOur 2011 course schedule is well underway. You will find many of these dates and locations now listed under their respective courses. Additional dates will be posted as they are confirmed. Look for our complete 2011 course brochure in your mailboxes by the end of the year. PRI Orthognathic Dentistry
In light of the fact that we will not be having the October 22-23 course for teams of therapists and dentists my thought is to form a study club. I believe it would be an excellent format for dentists to increase their knowledge of what we do as a team. For more information or to join the study group, please email me at . Please be sure to type “PRI Dental Study Club” in the subject line of your email. Thanks, Benefits of PRI Home Study

PRI home study courses, Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration, were recently approved by the Board of Certification (BOC) for 15 CEUs. Comments following the Interdisciplinary Integration Course“I just wanted to send a thank you for the dedication and “vision” that your organization represents. It is rare to encounter a group of therapists as knowledgeable and as dedicated as the PRI group is and every time I have attended a course I have left feeling “inadequate” which motivates me to become a better therapist… this is clearly a good thing, not a negative. “To begin, thanks for hosting these amazing courses. It really is truly inspiring to hear these speakers, and between you and me it is also very inspiring to hear Ron’s take on these subjects. I have felt from my first week as a PT that our field was missing so many things when I saw a colleague having an older woman toe tap cones to “improve” balance (all she learned was how to tap a cone, not how to dynamically and functionally move through gravity).” - Josh Olinick, DPT “I would highly recommend this course to all physical therapists (pediatric, neuro, orthopedic, chronic pain, sports and other relevant health practitioners) because gaining an appreciation for the value and the incredible need for podiatrists, neuro-optometrists, dentists, sleep specialists and physical therapists to work together will improve patient care and change practice paradigms.” - Kyndy Boyle, MSPT, OCS, PRC Amazing Week!We just wrapped up a fantastic week here at PRI! On behalf of myself, Janie, and Ron we would like to thank everyone involved in the Interdisciplinary Integration course. The course turned out to be a huge success and was full of valuable, clinical information that I’m hopeful those in attendance can use in their own practice. We are already discussing next year so stay tuned! For the first time…Preparations for the upcoming Interdisciplinary Integration course are well underway. I interrupted Ron’s busy day to get his thoughts on how it’s going and what he is most excited about… Foot Integration – Wednesday April 14th Dental Integration – Thursday April 15th Vision-Vestibular-Integration – Friday April 16th Rest Integration – Saturday April 17th

Dental Integration - April 15thQUESTION: Do you know if there have been any changes to the dental presentation or will it be pretty much the same as last year? ANSWER: This year will be focused on PRI integration more than on dentistry. Last year I had the presentation geared with a lot of info for dentists thinking we would have more dentists in attendance. So this year I’m focusing more on what the PT’s can benefit from a dentist and understanding different training of dentists. Also when to refer and when to wait to refer to a dentist. We are planning on showing more case studies and hopefully a live evaluation by Ron and myself—possibly with a course participant. In the case studies I’m asking the PT’s that co-treated to add their comments on treatment. So my hope is that the course has more practical application for the PT. Also, that they will be able to know what to look for in a dentist and let them know we will are planning the course in Oct for dentists to learn how to help the PT’s. Hope this helps. - Dr. Hoefs Schedule Change!We have moved the course scheduled for May 1-2 in St. Louis, Missouri to Loveland, Colorado! If you are in the Loveland area, you’ll be happy to know that we will be there presenting Postural Respiration on May 1-2! If you would like to register for the course CLICK HERE! Introducing Dr. J.
