This is one title of a slide from the many that Susan Henning will use to present historical perspectives and current overviews on how to slow, halt, or reverse spinal curve progression. She has a strong experienced-based background on this subject and her presentation is already preceded by her clinical passion and genuine caring personality. Susan’s willingness to share her story about two complimentary programs in a manner that will help you better explain to a young person the reason for curve patterns and “trunk changes”, is a gift to us. I know no other person like Susan, that can facilitate a proprioceptive, kinesthetic, and respiratory self awareness attitude or a self-correcting program like Susan can. This, in my opinion, will be the hallmark of our 2014 symposium!

Registration is still available for the upcoming 6th Annual Interdisciplinary Integration Symposium, being held April 10-11, 2014. CLICK HERE learn more and get registered today!

After reviewing Emily's presentation material, attendees will learn how to drive their diaphragm and therefore control both gravitational forces and barometric forces. This physical therapist and yoga teacher will explore the ancient concepts and modern application of yoga breathing techniques (pranayama) to help the PRI clinician fully experience and appreciate the power of the diaphragm contraction. She will offer guidance and suggestions that can immediately be implemented into a client's work out program to maximize respiratory and performance awareness. I can't wait for this uplifting two hour talk!

Impingement & Instability (Woodbury, MN) – “Karen and Carrie and the staff at Kinetic Physical Therapy Institute were fantastic hosts for a wonderful weekend of Impingement and Instability. It was great to spend the weekend with 2 clinicians I have always respected and appreciated dating back to before we went through the PRC process together back in 2004. It was great to reflect back on the development of PRI’s courses, including the new updates and developments to this Impingement and Instability course. We had a dynamic group of PTs, PTAs, Fitness and Strength professionals, 5 PRI Credentialed Professionals, a dynamic Sports Medicine minded Family Practice Physician and my favorite, an Engineer who is pursuing fitness and performance as a second career. It was clear that being an Engineer was a definite asset that helped Jacob understand the three dimensional integration of movement that is such an important part of understanding PRI. And Dr. Dave, you are easily one of the most open-minded and interested physicians that I have ever met out on the PRI circuit. A physician that regularly assesses his patients for body asymmetry and an imbalance of movement in spite of their symptoms is very uncommon. Your insights as a physician with experience training the US Ski Team was really an asset to our discussion on ischial tendonitis. A couple other take home messages from this weekend were to always ask if your patient’s ribs move the way they should to allow for tri-planar body performance and to remember the value of training right trunk rotation when you are standing on your right leg. The group did a fantastic job incorporating advanced concepts in a way that will allow them to balance neurology and performance on a wide variety of patients and athletes.”

Mr. Hruska,

                After a number of us took your Postural Respiration course this winter, it opened our eyes to the very prevalent pattern displayed by a large number of our athletes.  We also took and have been using the Myokin course material with good results.  Now, we have since been using the AIC and BC tests and treatments and are coming up with amazing results.  As you know, in our population, GH IR is a huge topic and concern for us.  What we are finding after treating our BC athletes, there is on average a 10+ degree increase in GH IR!  That is huge for us and they are maintaining the increase.  We have also had a few athletes with long running problems with their shoulders become pain free with throwing after a day or two of the Respiration process.  We are excited about the baseball integration course here in November since the more we experiment with what we know, it only brings up more questions and ideas on how to implement it.

Postural Respiration (Indianapolis, IN) – “I had the awesome opportunity to travel with Ron to Indianapolis this past weekend, and boy was it fun! We had a great group of strength and conditioning coaches, ATC's, Chiropractors, PT's, PTA's, and PT students (including 5 from Washington University in St. Louis – thanks again Joe!) come together to learn about the influence that the diaphragm, ZOA and ribcage has on position, and how to integrate respiration and positioning into each of their professions. Thank you to Bill and Mike at IFAST for hosting such a wonderful course and for mentoring so many young bright minds (this feature image is the IFAST family featuring staff, former interns and students). Quite impressive! Ron was pretty bummed to hear the restaurant was out of ribs on Friday night, but he made up for it on Saturday night by ordering the “right rack” of ribs, and then even demonstrating right trunk rotation! – Jen Gloystein

Impingement & Instability (Dallas, TX) – “The weekend started beautifully and the Texans in the class were great! Then the weather turned awful as the ice storm hit on Sunday. When we finished….we scrambled for the exits and took off for home! All in all a fun time and a slip-n-slide back home!” – Mike Cantrell
