Seattle, WA (Myokinematic Restoration) – “I had a blast in Everett, Washington this past weekend. Betsy and Zach are now PRC’s and that made me proud as I met Betsy when I was training to teach this course! Zach provided excellent support as my lab assistant. The jet-lag was worth all the hole control and appreciation for integration of pattern and position. This group was a mix of PRC’s, aspiring PRC’s, and some brand new to the science of PRI. The questions, dialogues and paradigm shifts were alive and well. I only wish I could have had more time to teach and explore this beautiful part of our country. I look forward to many more trips to the NW corner of the country. Olympic PT staff and the new friends I met from the region were awesome! Sorry for all the corny jokes and tangents, but hey I’m Jen Poulin, what would a PRI course be without my stand-up routine mixed in?!” – Jen Poulin
Santa Clara, CA (Pelvis Restoration) – “Thank you Zenith Strength for hosting me this past weekend in Santa Clara, CA. This course covers a lot of material in two days and with half the class being new participants….whew they got their feet wet. I feel the course participants appreciated our normal human asymmetry with the pelvis having muscles anterior/posterior, lateral, and inferior on both the left and right side that need to be in the correct position for optimal function. Certain muscles on the left or right side need to be “off” or inhibited while others need to be “on” or facilitated. Joint position influences muscle position. Once you see it, it’s hard to deny it. It was a great weekend!” – Lori Thomsen
Tucson, AZ (Myokinematic Restoration) – “I had a fantastic weekend in Southern Arizona discussing the restorative power of the left hamstring. Besides positioning the lower half for tri-planer function, this muscle helps sustain the breathing patterns needed for single leg dynamics without adverse compensation. Preserving hamstring function allows use of the left adductors without compensation from the left hip flexors, and also use of the right abductors without compensation from the right lateral ab wall. This type of isolated muscle sequencing is what makes this course so exciting. And, Oh yeah, how could anyone even consider a visit to Tucson, Arizona, without dining at my favorite restaurant, Cafe Poca Cosa!” – James Anderson
