Pelvis Restoration

An Integrated Approach to the Treatment of Patterned Pubo-Sacral Pathomechanics

Choose

Course Format

This advanced lecture and lab course is designed to assist clinicians with those complex patients that are struggling to restore reciprocal function of the pelvis. The clinician will gain an appreciation for the influences of an asymmetrical pelvis and how this imbalance contributes to pelvis dysfunction. We will explore in detail the function of the pelvic inlet and outlet as it relates to anatomy, respiration, and asymmetry in a multiple polyarticular chain system. Participants will be able to restore pelvic and respiratory neutrality through a PRI treatment approach while keeping individual activities of daily living in mind.

Education Level: Advanced
Student Faculty Ratio 16:1

Instructional Methods: Lecture, demonstration & lab, clinical application, case studies, and Q&A

Live Stream courses will take place from 8am-5pm CT each day, and certificates of completion/CE credit will be awarded the following week after completion of the course evaluation survey and short post-test. For more information on whether your state/organization is approved for CE approval, please click on the “CE Approval” tab. Live Stream courses will be engaging, interactive and include demonstration of objective testing and/or non-manual techniques, in addition to course attendees being able to ask questions throughout the course. All that’s needed on your end is reliable internet access, a webcam, microphone and speaker (or a smart phone can be used if you do not have a computer or laptop with this capability) to utilize ZOOM for the live stream course. The ZOOM links for the live stream course will be included in the confirmation email. The course manual will be shipped directly to you 1-2 weeks before the course. *International registrants are discounted $30 since we do not ship manuals internationally, however you will be able to print the digital manual if you so choose. A digital version of the course manual will be added to your PRI account the week of the course. In addition, participants will receive access to the recording of the live stream course for 14 days to review the material, and re-watch any material that may have been missed due to connection issues. Those who attend in-person during a live streamed course will also receive access to the recording for 14 days. Extensions beyond this 14 day review are not available. ***Please note: In order to receive access to the recording for review, you must participate in person on the Live Stream course with your camera on for at least half of the course (7.5 hours). If you sign up for the course and do not participate in at least 7.5 hours of the live stream, you will not receive the recording and you will not be refunded. Also, once course manuals have been shipped (or the digital version has been added to your account), there will be no refunds for cancellations.***

Anatomy

Muscular Structures of the Pelvic Floor
Pelvic Inlet: diaphragm, rectus femoris, sartorius, internal obliques, transverse abdominis, iliacus
Pelvic Outlet: hamstrings, IC adductor magus, gluteus maximus, piriformis, coccygeus, pubococcygeus, obturator, iliococcygeus, puborectalis, urogenital diaphragm

Anterior Interior Chain (AIC)
Muscles: Diaphragm, Psoas, Iliacus, TFL, Vastus Lateralis, Biceps Femoris
Opposition Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteals, Internal Obliques
There are two anterior interior polyarticular muscular chains in the body that have a significant influence on respiration, rotation of the trunk, ribcage, spine and lower extremities. They are composed of muscles that attach to the costal cartilage and bone of rib 7 through twelve to the lateral patella, head of the fibula and lateral condyle of the tibia. These two tracts of muscles, one on the left side of the interior thoraco-abdominal-pelvic cavity and one on the right, are composed of the diaphragm and the psoas muscle. With the iliacus, tensor fasciae latae, biceps femoris and vastus lateralis muscles this chain provides the support and anchor for abdominal counter force, trunk rotation and flexion movement.

Posterior Exterior Chain (PEC)
Muscles: Latissimus Dorsum, Quadratus Lumborum, Posterior Intercostals, Serratus Posterior, Iliocostalis Lumborum
Opposition Muscles: Abdominal Obliques

Standing Reach Test

Position

Patient stands upright with knees fully extended and arms at side of trunk.
Ask patient to align feet with each other so they are parallel.
Make sure clothing is unrestricted.
Keep shoes on.

Mechanics Without Hip Shift

Ask patient to reach down toward floor as arms move forward and hips move back.
Instruct patient to keep back rounded in attempting to touch toes with fingertips.
Encourage the patient to exhale as they reach toward the toes.
Measure distance from fingers to floor in inches.

Mechanics With Hip Shift

Ask patient to reach down toward floor as right fingers overlap left fingers, arms move forward and as hips move back.
Instruct patient to keep back rounded in attempting to touch left toes with both left and right fingertips, while shifting left hip back.
Encourage the patient to exhale when reaching toward the toes with knees fully extended.
Measure distance directly in front of left toes from fingers to the floor in inches.
Repeat procedure on other side by asking patient to reach down toward floor and right toes, accordingly.

Left AIC: Inability reflects:Lack of right anterior left posterior inlet, lack of left anterior and right posterior outlet, hyperactivity of left anterior and right posterior inlet, or hyperactivity of right anterior and left posterior outlet

PEC: Inability reflects: Lack of bilateral posterior inlet and bilateral anterior outlet, or hyperactivity of bilateral anterior inlet and bilateral posterior outlet.

*ability to touch toes with + Adduction Drop Test & + PADT = Pathological PEC

Pelvic Ascension Drop Test (PADT)

The patient lies on their side with the top and lower hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees.

The patient is then instructed to actively bring the top leg back to neutral while maintaining 90 degrees of knee flexion, and to touch their knee to the mat. This represents a negative test.

A positive test is indicated by the inability of the active leg’s pelvic floor to ascend secondary to the left outlet’s inability to abduct.

Passive Abduction Raise Test (PART)

The patient lies on his or her side with their bottom knee and hip flexed at 70-90°. Their top knee and hip will remain straight (0-degrees). Passively stabilize the patient’s innominate with one hand as the other hand passively moves their leg into abduction. Standing behind the patient usually provides more examiner biomechanical comfort in lifting the leg. Patients with tight right intercostal walls and short and strong right adductors will demonstrate limited passive abduction when compared to the other side. Usually the examiner will feel lateral buttressing of the femoral head on the lateral superior acetabulum as the femur is abducted. When right thoracic abduction or sidebending occurs, discontinue the test.

A positive test is indicated by a restriction on one or both sides that does not allow sufficient abduction secondary to lack of outlet adduction. Usually seen on the right side especially if Left Adduction Drop Test is positive in a Left AIC oriented patient or a patient has a right Hruska Adduction Lift Test of less than a 3.

Functional Squat Test

LEVEL 1: Ability to initiate a squat by slightly bending knees while trunk remains in flexion. Inability reflects lack of posterior pelvic rotation and hyperactive back extensors.

LEVEL 2: Ability to begin squatting, moving bottom back and knees forward while trunk remains in flexion. Inability reflects lack of femoral adduction, hyperactive hip flexors, and overactive FA ER’s.

LEVEL 3: Ability to squat bringing bottom below knee level while keeping heels down and trunk flexed. Inability reflects tight intercostals and hyperactive anterior / posterior tibialis.

LEVEL 4: Ability to squat keeping heels down, trunk flexed and bottom to heels. Inability reflects hyperactive quads and gastroc-soleus.

LEVEL 5: Ability to maximally squat keeping heels down and trunk flexed while keeping center of gravity through heels. Inability reflects lack of maximal AF IR and synchronized mechanics of diaphragm and pelvic floor respiration.

Lori did an excellent job of explaining things clearly, speaking slowly and understandably, and using understandable terminology to make difficult material more easy to understand. | Evanston, IL, November 2024
Lori is an amazing instructor. She was able to explain things in a way that I was able to understand and digest more easily than any other PRI course I have taken. I left this course feeling like I was able to retain more information and apply the information better in the clinical setting. I felt like more of the concepts “clicked” and I could see the connection among all 3 primary courses. | Evanston, IL, November 2024
Lori was funny, made us laugh, and was very clear with her teaching approach. | Seattle, WA, October 2024
This course was fantastic, and very informative. As I see a lot of PEC patterned patients on a daily basis, it was incredibly helpful to dive into this postural pattern further. The pelvic floor/diaphragm education was also incredibly helpful, I have already been able to educate some patient’s with pelvic floor disfunction about how this asymmetry could be affecting their lives! Thank you! | Seattle, WA, October 2024
Lori was GREAT! Her passion about the material was obvious. She took the time to answer all questions thoroughly and ensured course participants understood the material. | Jupiter, FL, September 2024
I would like to thank the Institute for the absolutely revolutionary and useful knowledge that provides! I believe it’s the present and the future of modern physical therapy and more! Plus I would like to thanks Lori Thomsen for the amazing and fully helpful way of teaching throughout the entire presentation! |Lincoln, NE & Live Stream, April 2024
Lori was awesome! She did an excellent job tying the information together. |Lincoln, NE & Live Stream, April 2024
Jen is very patient and thoughtful when listening to and answering questions. | Baltimore, MD, October 2023
Jen is excellent to learn from. I really looked forward to being taught by her again. | Baltimore, MD, October 2023
Lori was an AMAZING speaker and EXTREMELY knowledgeable of the information being presented. | Live Stream, October 2023
Lori was an excellent coach for this course! I really enjoyed learning from her! | Live Stream, October 2023
Lori has amazing knowledge; she is the expert! | Boston, MA, June 2023
This course was amazing! It was my 2nd PRI course and I think my knowledge regarding the content was highly elevated and I am excited to utilize the new information with my athletic population! The instructor was awesome and provided many personal experiences as to what she sees in her practice and how it would help relate to the content and clinical pearls that are helpful! | Boston, MA, June 2023
I loved the way/ passion Lori Thomson presented the material! | Munich, Germany, May 2023
I think Lori’s knowledge and understanding of the subject matter is second-to-none. | Munich, Germany, May 2023
It is one of, if not my favorite course yet because of the explanation of the diaphragm and rib/pelvic positioning that I feel most teaching I have encountered to this point leaves out. | Columbia, MO, March 2023
Excellent instructor! Lori was easy to understand, explained concepts well and was very knowledgeable. In addition, she was very friendly and approachable. | Valencia, CA, February 2023
Lori was amazing! Her knowledge, passion for the science, understanding of the patterns, etc. was unparalleled and inspiring. | Valencia, CA, February 2023
Mind. Blown. Absolutely incredible.| Live Stream, February 2023
Lori was very knowledgeable about everything, and I loved the clinical pearls she sprinkled in throughout the course. The in-depth dive into the pelvis really made me think about how I treat my patients and gave me more clinical decision-making skills as to why and when a certain technique would be used. | Live Stream, February 2023
Lori made the material much more understandable than other teacher’s that I have had. I really appreciate the logical and clear presentation of this information. | Live Stream, February 2023
I thought Lori did an excellent job breaking concepts down and making sure any lost stragglers were able to pick back up. | New York, NY, November 2022
Lori’s teaching style was very effective, and I feel as if the information presented was able to be utilized immediately in the clinic with patients. | Live Stream, October 2022
I am very excited to continue learning this information and using it with my patients. This makes more sense to me than so many of the other courses that are out there. I greatly appreciate the recognition of the body being asymmetrical. The information that I am learning is applicable to so many of my current patients and myself. | Live Stream, October 2022
Lori was awesome. Inspiring. Her passion for the subject shows through her teaching. One of my favorite certs to date. Made real world application of the material natural. Great coach! | Warner Robins, GA, October 2022
Lori absolutely crushed this! The explanation of some of the intricate details of the various aspects was great! | Warner Robins, GA, October 2022
As a Chiropractor it was great to understand more of the muscular component to how specific patterns present and how the presentation effects the way respiration and gait are accomplished. It helped me understand how some of my patients are stuck in the same patterns every time they come into the office and opened my eyes to how to help through inhibiting and activating specific muscles to assist in treatment.|Charlotte, NC, September 2022
Lori was absolutely outstanding! Brilliant, excellent communicator, warm and engaging. | Bradenton, FL March 2022
Lori is one of the best speakers at the Institute. Very concise, explains it well to all levels. | Bradenton, FL March 2022
I cannot say how GREAT Lori was enough! Best PRI instructor I have had and I felt like she was standing in my home with me. Her ability to teach clinical reasoning vd. just explain exercises was superb…something that i feel is lacking in a lot of Con Ed. courses. | Live Stream April 2021
My 1st course with Jesse! Super helpful & his style helped facilitate my learning! Thank you Jesse! | Fort Collins, CO April 2021
Lori is the BEST instructor! Great examples of patient care; funny and engaging! | Lancaster, PA April 2019
Lori was an amazing instructor! I had some limited PRI experience prior to this course but was always confused. She really brought it together for me and I feel so much more confident employing these techniques with my patients! | Lancaster, PA April 2019
Keep expanding into the world! Mind-blowing. Too bad I didn’t know this 20 years ago. Jesse is an awesome presenter: funny (that helps to remember), very knowledgeable. | Albuquerque, NM March 2019
I really enjoy Jen’s teaching style and presentation. It’s clear she is a treating clinician, which is greatly appreciated. I feel comfortable and enthusiastic enough to try techniques tomorrow. | Southern Pines, NC February 2019
Jen did a wonderful job breaking down inlet/outlet position, as well as testing & treatment. I have taken this course before and recently sat for PRC, and I still learned so much. Thank you! | Southern Pines, NC February 2019
Wow!! Live and home study updates are fantastic. At this time I don’t know how to make it better. This course has evolved! | Dallas, TX August 2018
Enjoyed / learned a lot from being able to go through several of the facilitation/inhibition techniques. Thank you Lori!! | Dallas, TX August 2018
After taking the other two courses in the primary level – PRI is clicking for me, I can see how all three courses overlap and integrate for treatment of patients. I’m excited to apply it tomorrow in clinic. | Oakland, CA August 2018
Great course, well organized and presented. Great support from PRI staff from registration, during and after course. | Lincoln, NE October 2017
Excellent course! Highly relevant course content to daily clinical practice! Awesome job Jennifer! | Lincoln, NE October 2017
Jess was a phenomenal speaker at converging challenging information to participants with varying learning styles and professions. For me he gave me so many clinical pearls that I have a PRI pearl necklace to treat my patients with. Thank you. | Seattle, WA May 2017
Lori was amazing. This is my 3^rd PRI course and my FAVORITE. Lori broke everything down and repeated things in different ways. She answered ALL questions fully. | Phoenix, AZ January 2017
Lori provided new information on pelvic floor mechanics that enhanced my understanding of L AIC and PEC Patterns. | Anchorage, AK November 2015
I wanted to let PRI know that Jesse Ham did a wonderful job! Jesse did great when explaining and demonstrating concepts in the course! He was very patient. I appreciated his ability to find different ways to explain the point he was trying to make which allowed us to obtain a better understanding. As always, PRI courses are amazing and I am grateful for the chance to continue to grow and learn! Kudos! This was the best PRI course I have taken. I think Lori would be great teaching Myokin and Postural Respiration. I like the structure of the course and how she follows the manual so we can use it later as a reference. This was the best course for learning how to treat using PRI. | Phoenix, AZ, March 2015
Clear, organized and methodical. Makes learning very easy. Clinical Pearls and lessons learned truly assist in practice integration of ideas. Thank you very much! | Phoenix, AZ, March 2015
Lori was great. Her teaching was very thorough, objective and summative. Really appreciated her repeating concepts to have us nail them home. | Indianapolis, IN, March, 2015
Outstanding primary course! I can use techniques immediately and I am excited for future integration. | Fort Collins, CO, February 2015
Jesse – Great job! I really enjoyed the course. Thank you! | Fort Collins, CO, February 2015
Very relevant to my patient population. Lori related the material to be easily applied in our clinic/patients. | Frederick, MD, February 2014

Lori- thanks for all your hard work to make this course so clinically relevant. Awesome job! | Lincoln, Nebraska, October 2012

Another great PRI course, amazing, enlightening, exciting. | Essex Junction, Vermont, September 2011
This is a great addition to the process! It helped fill in more gaps for me especially for treatment with PEC patients! Lori did an excellent job. She is an amazing presenter/teacher. | Essex Junction, Vermont, September 2011
This course had a the best explanation of HEP of all PRI classes I’ve taken! I walked away with a better understanding of what exercises to choose and how to perform them. | Alabama

Excellent presentation of course content and tying it into other PRI material. I have a much better understanding of why we are doing specific steps of exercises. | Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 2011

I feel confident and excited to apply the knowledge and techniques that I gained this weekend with patients this week! | Lincoln, Nebraska, January 2011
Great introductory course! Excited to implement with patient treatment. | Lincoln, Nebraska, January 2011
Very well done! Explained very clearly and concisely. My first PRI course, will definitely take more! | Lincoln, Nebraska, January 2011
Lori & Heather are both excellent. Lori’s presentation style is TERRIFIC – easy to follow, handles questions really well, approachable, good pace. Although I find the material challenging and overwhelming at times, I am really pleased to have taken this class with Lori – she helped me “get” several things that were totally confusing from my Myokinematic Restoration class. | Falls Church, Virginia, March 2011
Enjoyed the course and thought it was taught well with great organization and challenging the thought process. Already have several patients I am excited about evaluating to see if they are appropriate. | Falls Church, Virginia, March 2011
Great course! I am so excited to ‘play’! This course really made the Myokinematic Restoration course that I took last Jan or Feb make more sense!
