Course Description
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.
Educational Level: Advanced
Learning Objectives
- Recognize structural influences and breathing patterns of faulty postures.
- Design a postural isolation and inhibition program that includes the integration of appropriate dynamics of respiration.
- Release restricted polyarticular chains and torsional patterns of the trunk through specific manual and non-manual orientation of ventilatory muscle.
- Restore thorax-scapular force couples, rib alignment and abdominal-diaphragm muscle integration.
