I don’t know if anyone could have more fun teaching PRI than I did last weekend. I am finishing up my work week today and I think I am still as high as those balloons were at the end of the class on Sunday. My cheeks are still sore from smiling. This past weekend was just simply the most fun I have had teaching. I thought the same thing when I was teaching my group in California earlier this year, but 2025 is shaping up to be what I am referring to as “Jen’s year of celebrating “fun” while teaching PRI!”
For those of you who know me well, you understand how I use humor and music to engage my students. This course of Myokinematics of the Hip and Pelvis was no different. We were joined by my favorites Lady Gaga, Beyonce and my new favorite Dua Lipa. If you want to know more, you must come to one of my future courses!
My students were diverse in more ways than one. I had PTs, ATCs, a Chiropractic physician, strength and conditioning specialists and personal trainers. 50% of my students were taking their first PRI class and others had taken several courses. All were there to learn for themselves, their patients and clients that they care for in their professions.
We worked on understanding the underlying left AIC pattern, how it affects position of the pelvis and how a femur will orient or compensate. We worked hard on these concepts to help the student better understand the tests and measures as well as treatment algorithms. We finished our day reflecting on how these adaptations and compensations can result in common diagnosis of the hip including but not limited to piriformis syndrome, IS dysfunction and hip bursitis. It was not lost on my “group of 10’s” (IYKYK) that the condition is a result of the patients own neuro mechanics.
Danielle and Eric were amazing hosts to me and our attendees. They laid out the red carpet and fed us so well both breakfast and snacks. They made me feel welcomed. It truly did not feel like work when you are teaching and learning with open minded engaged learners like my group. I made 20+ new friends. Thanks for spending your weekend with me “10’s”! I look forward to seeing your faces in many PRI courses in the future. Maybe Cervical Revolution next month? 🙂
