This past weekend I travelled up to Cranston Rhode Island to teach Myokinematics of the Hip and Pelvis. Elite Physical Therapy was hosting their first PRI course! They had several clinicians in attendance and Ryan Toher, DPT was a great host. They were all new to the science of PRI as were 90% of the course attendees. This was a larger class with 45 clinicians in the room. I was joined by Miguel Aragoncillo, CSCS, PRT and Tyler Tanaka, DPT PRC as my lab assistants. They did a great job offering help during labs and comments from their experiences during lecture. The class was made up of mostly rehab professionals and strength and conditioning specialists. It was super fun meeting Tyler’s college friend Daniel Gardner, DPT aka “Gator” and helping him begin his PRI journey!
As hard as it is to be away from family and friends on the weekends and the rigors of travel, I am always excited to see the light bulbs and Ah Ha moments that new clinicians experience learning about autonomics, breathing and polyarticular chains as it relates to concepts of lateralization, habit and movement dysfunction. I enjoyed meeting my front row newly inducted PRI front row Trisha Livemore, DPT, Steve( CSCS) and Amanda Zariello,DPT, Valerie Perron, LPTA, LMT, Elizabeth Johnson, MPT, ATC and Anne Ruffus, DPT, CSCS.
A very special shout out goes to Gustavo Woff, PT who flew 15 hours from Argentina to take his first PRI course this weekend. It is so inspiring to be part of the PRI Faculty and watch it grow and spread throughout the world. I am truly honored to be a part of the process.
