Cervical Revolution

An Integrated Approach to the Treatment of Patterned Cervical Pathomechanics

Choose

Course Format

Prior attendance of Postural Respiration is required. *Dentists may attend without prior attendance of Postural Respiration.

This advanced lecture and lab course places emphasis on the role the cervical spine plays in the management of cranial function and position. Intercervical, atlanto, occipital, and cranial assessment will help the clinician appreciate occiput, sphenoid and temporal orientation and thus how to proceed in determining what PRI manual or non-manual techniques should be considered. Airway alignment, diaphragmatic demand and arthrokinematic correlations will be discussed, as they relate to the left sidebending and right torsion physiologic cranial positions. Specific repatterning techniques will be offered for these two cranial positions of the Right Temporal Mandibular Cervical Chain (TMCC) pattern. An overview of the relationship between cervical neutrality, cranial balance and occlusion will be provided. Participants will be able to immediately apply non-manual techniques to enhance normal functional cervical lordosis, active rotation and freedom for vestibular frontal plane integration.

Prior attendance of Postural Respiration is required. *Dentists may attend without prior attendance of Postural Respiration.

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.***

Recognize and evaluate contributing muscular impact on torsion and compression of cervicothoracic, craniocervical, and craniomandibular joints.
Distinguish when to refer to a dentist for an oral appliance to assist in maintaining cervical neutrality and neurologic stabilization of the cervical spine and cranium through the use of opposition muscle of the Right TMCC.
Establish an understanding of sphenoid occipital-basilar (SB) and basilar sphenoid (BS) biomechanical influence on temporal and cervical-thoracic function.
Identify the difference between a cranium that is in bilateral extension versus a cranium that is in a right temporal internal rotated position (R TMCC pattern) and design a treatment program using PRI techniques and dentistry if needed.

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.

Brachial Chain (BC)
Muscles: Anterior-Lateral Intercostals, Deltoid-Pectoral, Sibson’s Fascia, Triangularis Sterni, Sternocleidomastoid, Scaleni, Diaphragm
Opposition Muscles: Triceps, Lower Trapezius, Abdominal Obliques
There are two brachial polyarticular muscular chains lying over the anterior pleural and cervical area. These chains influence cervical rotation, shoulder dynamics and apical inspirational expansion. They are composed of muscle that attaches to the costal cartilages and bone of ribs 4 through 7 and xiphoid to the posterior, inferior occipital bone, anterior, inferior mandible and coracoid process of scapula. These two tracks of muscles, one on the left side of the sternum and one on the right, are anterior to the medial and upper mediastinum and upper thoracic cavity and are composed of the triangular sterni, sternocleidomastoid, scalene, pectoralis minor, intercostals and muscles of the pharynx and anterior neck. They provide the support and anchor for cervical-cranial orientation and rotation and rib position. The right brachial chain muscle is opposed by the right posterior back muscles (PEC), lower trap, serratus anterior, and external rib rotators, in addition to the left internal abdominal obliques. The brachial chain muscle on the left is opposed by the left posterior back muscles (PEC), lower trap, serratus anterior, external rib rotators, and right internal abdominal obliques.

Temporomandibular Cervical Chain (TMCC)
Muscles: Temporalis (ant. fiber), Masseter, Medial Pterygoid, Rectus Capitis Posterior Major, Obliquus Capitis, Rectus Capitis Anterior, Longus Capitis, Longus Colli
Opposition Muscles: Levator Scapula, Lower Trapezius, Anterior Cranial Cervical Muscle (Rectus Capitis Anterior, Rectus Capitis Lateralis, Logus Capitis, Stylohyoid, Styloglossus, Stylopharyngeus), Mandibular Cervical Muscle (Glossus, Digastrics), Lateral Pterygoids

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

I continue to enjoy learning the theology and practical treatment of PRI. I have helped several complexed and chronic pain patients over the past 15 years because of PRI. Because of PRI, I can see the body in a different lens and appreciate how it works as a chain. I have also been able to teach and provide PRI experiences to several PT students over the past 13 years. Thank you for positively impacting my practice and so many patient lives. | Live Stream, September 2024
This course really helped me feel more confident to make use of the other courses & to have this is my back pocket when I assess a client that may greatly benefit from a more specific approach. | Live Stream, September 2024
Louise was great – took time to answer questions and made heavy content relevant and interesting. My first time attending in person and I really valued hands on lab time. |Munich, Germany, June 2024
She was so kind and gracious with her time – she never hesitated to repeat a concept over and over again to ensure we understood it. |Munich, Germany, June 2024
10/10 I loved this course! I am do thankful that PRI comes to Germany! I love all the people who come to this course its amazing! |Munich, Germany, June 2024
Louise answered all our questions and always gave the opportunity to ask questions. I never felt bad asking a question so I never had a moment where I couldn’t keep up. If I didn’t understand something, I could ask and Louise was great at helping me and everyone else. She made us all feel that every question was useful and answered them well and with humor where appropriate. I had the impression that we learned so much together as a course. |Munich, Germany, June 2024

Skip did a great job answering questions. He is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and breaks it down well. He was also very real and when asked something out of his scope was relaxed about saying he did not know. REALLY appreciated that honesty. Made the course even more credible and demonstrated a great respect for the content and the need to get it right, and to continue learning. He as also very respectful of all of the students and their level of knowledge. We had a diverse group w/ different levels of training and experience. We will just keep learning as more is discovered about our patterned tendencies. | Atlanta, GA, March 2024
I thought Skip was a great instructor and I learned a ton of information! It was my favorite PRI course I’ve taken thus far. | Atlanta, GA, March 2024
I just finished treating a patient with a cranial expansion technique that I learned from Louise in the Cervical Revolution live stream last month. My patient could not believe that the pain in the right top of her head (when she bends over) has gone away. I was so pleased with this result! Louise did a great job explaining the cranium and relationships of bones to each other. I am so very grateful for the 2 weeks review period when participating on live streams. It is super helpful. I also was rather surprised about so many connections with my patient caseload, and the topics that were covered in the class. Several patients have talked about teeth, dizziness and even ear pain. I noticed some ear asymmetries and different heights in eyes. I now know better what to do with those patients! It opened up a new world for me, with noticing all of the connections that I did not know prior to the Cervical Revolution class. | Live Stream, February 2024

Skip’s manner and style is very easy to follow, making complex topics more digestible and accessible. He knew it was the first time attending Cervical Revolution for a few of us and so did a great job ensuring that we came away with a good understanding of the fundamentals of the subject matter. | New York, NY, October 2023
Skip was great, he really explains in depth and encourages conversation throughout a smaller course. I loved how he taught this class. | New York, NY, October 2023
First time taking a course from Louise and I loved it! She is very clear and organized. | Live Stream, September 2023
Louise Kelley DPT, PRC has a wonderful presentation style. She covers all the information by speaking not too fast and not too slow. She is excellent at repetition. She is humble and inquisitive and patient. She is a teacher who knows what the participants needs to learn. She is focused and keeps to the task at hand. | Live Stream, September 2023
Louise Kelley was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the material, teaches the material in a very non-judgmental and able way, and was very effective at teaching the theoretical components as well as the techniques taught in the class. She’s a great asset to the PRI faculty. | Virginia Beach, VA, May 2023
Louise was an amazing instructor, she did an excellent job with the material and helped me understand things I didn’t not understand my first time taking the course. | Virginia Beach, VA, May 2023
Louise provides excellent instruction that is clear and easy to follow. |Live Stream, February 2023
So thankful for Louise’s input – she broke things down a bit more for me to understand. She came back to basics and repeated basic concepts in different ways which helped me understand. |Live Stream, February 2023
Skip is a very enthusiastic speaker and engages with the participants very well. |Live Stream, February 2023
Fantastic course, Skip is an excellent instructor. | Wellesley, MA, October 2022
Skip did a great job making complex material easy to understand. I really liked Louise’s contributions as well. She is a very detailed, methodical thinker and presents her ideas clearly. | Live Stream, September 2022
The course really outlined the importance of a neck and cranium for the whole system of the human body, especially when the patient can’t achieve neutrality. | Munich, Germany, July 2022
Thank you! Always great to continue learning and love how all PRI courses intertwine in some way just like the human body! | Live Stream, January 2022
Skip did an amazing job with helping me understand the material and keeping it a little more simple to understand the main purpose of everything happening.| Live Stream, September 2021
I so appreciate Skip’s willingness to take on this challenging material that is still more challenging to make understandable to clinicians. I think he did a wonderful job presenting the R TMCC very clearly with associated L SB & R torsion lesions. I feel much more comfortable with head and neck mechanics. Thank you! | Chapel Hill, NC January 2020
Skip was excellent. He is very smart and relayed his knowledge very well. He encouraged questions, comments, & dialogue. The attendees had great questions and comments. He presented like he was our peer (as a mentor). Skip is excellent with helping us understand the subject. | Chapel Hill, NC January 2020
I like that you pause to let us think. You are so humble & approachable while still being the expert. That is tough to balance-nicely done. I also genuinely felt like you cared about what I had to say-Thank you! Also, thanks for facilitating the awesome discussion with experienced PRC’s-but making sure we didn’t get too far off track. | Chapel Hill, NC January 2020
We/I did miss Ron but appreciated Skip’s Presentation-was helpful for me. Interactive, engaging, encouraging questions, interactions, thoughtful & careful with considering intent of questions & trying to give the most helpful answer. | Chapel Hill, NC January 2020
I’ve been waiting for this course for 2 years. PRI is what I wish PT school was. Finding this discipline feels like the continuation for craniosacral therapy I learned 25 years ago. | Chapel Hill, NC January 2020
It was a special weekend getting the opportunity to witness Skip George teach this course for the first time in a manner of confidence and preparedness like he had taught this complex subject matter for years. Well done, Skip! | Seattle, WA October 2019
Skip is an awesome instructor. I’d really like to take more classes with him. | Seattle, WA October 2019
Skip has been the best instructor I have had and has made the material much more digestible. | Seattle, WA October 2019
My expectations were met, as always. These classes always answer questions that arise that I observe in clients. | Seattle, WA October 2019
As always, blows my mind. I love these courses! | New York, NY
The new photos of all of the patients were an awesome addition! | Anchorage, AK
Excellent. Missing piece of pulling it together. | Lincoln, NE
The cervical revolution course will radically change your view regarding the traditional static skull and static mandible concept that persists and dictates diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry and orthodontics even to this date. Numerous clinical and scientific statements along with live exercises will let you feel through your skin that occlusion has far reaching influence in our body and that our body has equal degree of influence in our occlusion. Hands down I highly recommend this course to any new or seasoned dentist especially those interested in occlusion cranio-mandibular dysfunction and integrative occlusal medicine! | Coppell, TX September 2017
I enjoyed the course very much! I plan to integrate it with my manual work for TMJ, O/A and A/A and C-Spine and in the future with a dentist. | Coppell, TX September 2017
This course gives me a better rationale to the interrelationship of teeth to TMJ to muscles of the face and neck. I am leaving this course a better dentist than when I initially came here. I have a better perspective of the relationship of cervical physical therapy to occlusion as it relates to joint pathology and dysfunction of muscles. | Boston, MA July 2016
I wanted to understand more of the meat and potatoes of exercises I get from Torin – conjugate hemi-gait. For those who have taken the previous TMCC course, the updated course of Cervical Revolution is a MUST! I personally cannot treat certain patients without integrating PRI concepts and dentistry. | Lincoln, NE May 2016
I am so grateful I got to take this course from Ron. It was a privilege. | Lincoln, NE May 2016
Perhaps most influential PRI course since my first course ten years ago. | Lincoln, NE May 2016
Excellent course and instructor. | New York, NY September 2015
Thank you for making this course more discernible for clinical application to identify what we need to look for in the clinic to see what we can treat, how to treat it and when to refer to a dentist. | New York, NY September 2015
This course helped me clarify some points I was not sure of especially regarding some of the non-manual techniques. | New York, NY September 2015
Thank you for providing such comprehensive material, references, etc. I look forward to studying it all more. | Chapel Hill, NC March 2015
I had taken the previous course (Cervical-Cranial-Mandibular Restoration) 3 times. I feel this new Cervical Revolution course is a giant leap forward. This course put things together for me in a way that rivals, if not surpasses the Advanced Integration course! | Chapel Hill, NC March 2015
Loved the evolution of Cervical Revolution! | Chapel Hill, NC March 2015
