Course Description

This advanced lecture and demonstration course will explore issues of impingement and instability as they relate to the Left AIC and Right BC pattern. 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.

* - Prior attendance of both Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify key anti-gravitational myokinematic and neurologic processes influencing compensatory and non-compensatory patterns of the upright patient.
  • Recognize influences of internal orientation and compensation on the extended and hypertonic system.
  • Manage calcaneal instability and how to incorporate calcaneal stability in the frontal plane.
  • Establish a plan of care reflecting femoral and tibial activity for the patella-femoral patient.
  • Facilitate PRI neuromuscular re-training programs for the Type I, II and III scapula.
  • Balance pelvic floor tension and tone using PRI functional guidelines and testing.
