This four-day advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the relationship between pathomechanic patterns. It is highly advanced and interactive and reflects PRI concepts covered in both the Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration courses in an integrative fashion. We will explore in detail both non patho-compensatory and patho-compensatory issues as they related to the Left AIC and Right BC pattern. Anatomy, examination tests, algorithms and lab with be presented with integration as the focus rather than separated by regions of the body.
* - Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.
A certificate for 30 contact hours will be awarded to registrants upon completion of the course.

This advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the relationship between cervicobrachial, cervicocranial and craniomandibular dysfunction and disorders. The focus of this course will be to evaluate, treat and manage joint compression and instability dysfunction as it relates to the upper quarter asymmetry. Information will be presented that anatomically addresses and supports sequential treatment approaches that are introduced in the clinic and oriented for carryover by the patient. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnosis such as “TMJ”, headaches and facial pain.

Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnoses such as calcaneal instability, knee instability, hip impingement, ilium instability, scapula instability, shoulder impingement, and multidirectional HG and FA instability. Guidance will be offered in assessing ‘instability’ and ‘impingement’ as related to early and late pathologic function following the asymmetrical human developed patern (Left AIC/Right BC) of unilateral dominance, habit , and consistent hand and foot usage.

This advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the postural influences of: rib torsion, asymmetrical oblique strength, inconsistent breathing patterns, habitual use of accessory respiratory musculature and a restricted diaphragm. The focus of this course will be to “balance” polyarticular muscular chains through focused functional assessment of the upper-half. Integrated treatments using manual therapy and specific non-manual techniques to restore respiratory and rotational functions of the trunk will be covered. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnosis such as “fibromyalgia”, thoracic outlet syndrome and shoulder dysfunction. This course is recommended second when attending our complete course series.

This advanced lecture and lab course explores the biomechanics of contralateral and ipsilateral myokinematic lumbo-pelvic-femoral dysfunction. Treatment emphasizes the restoration of pelvic-femoral alignment and recruitment of specific rotational muscles to reduce synergistic patterns of pathomechanic asymmetry. Emphasis will be placed on restoration, recruitment and retraining activities using internal and external rotators of the femur, pelvis and lower trunk. Identification and isolation techniques to inhibit overactive musculature will enable the course participant to restore normal resting muscle position. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnosis such as “piriformis syndrome”, right SI joint dysfunction, and low back strain. This course is recommended first when attending our complete course series.
