Recently, a therapist at The Hruska Clinic had a patient in the office with complaints of low back pain. All of the objective measurements taken were reflective of a Left AIC, Right BC pattern. When the patient was positioned in supine, the apical expansion test wasn’t necessary in determining whether or not this patient could apically expand on the right. His prominent left rib flair paints the whole picture!

Today it is with much excitement and pride that we unveil our first international web pages. If you’re like me, the words themselves make little sense but the overall picture of PRI concepts and courses spreading further outside our national borders is very satisfying. We have much work ahead of us but the great deal that has already been accomplished could not have been at all possible without our Polish colleagues, Michal Niedzielski and Gregory Parfianowicz. Michal and Gregory will travel to Poland in March 2009 to present two courses covering material from our Myokinematic Restoration course. This endeavor has been a commitment of their time, expertise and energy and for that we are grateful. So, be sure to forward this link to all your friends in Poland!

At our weekly Wednesday morning meeting the “topic of conversation” on Lori Thomsen’s agenda was footwear! Since our gathering with The Lincoln Running Company and Dr. Paul Coffin, DPM, Lori and her fellow colleagues have been testing patient’s objectively while wearing different shoewear. The results...Asics Foundations are the best!! This shoe is a great shoe to use with patients that don’t require an orthotic. The calcaneal stability and medial arch support in the shoe provide enough stability for a patient to maintain neutrality while performing a PRI program!
