Impingement and Instability

A Unique Approach to the Treatment of Common Impingement and Instability Through PRI Reference Center Integration

Choose

Course Format

Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration, Pelvis Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.

This advanced course has been designed to enhance the understanding of the contributing underlying impingement (compression) and instability (malalignment) considerations associated with typical impingement or instability syndromes. Participants will be able to relate and integrate calcaneal (ground) impingement with femoral instability, pelvis impingement and scapula instability or thoracic malalignment. Impingement and instability integration, for ground control and overhead activity, will be introduced using PRI reference centers and frontal plane oscillation. Scapula function will be presented to reduce femoral/tibia instability, and associated thoracic, calcaneal/talus, and pelvis impingement.

Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration, Pelvis Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.

Educational Level: Advanced

Instructional Methods: Lecture, demonstration, clinical application, 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.***

Identify the key concepts of the Left AIC and Right BC patterns that influence the need for calcaneal and pelvis impingement, and femoral and scapula instability.
Recognize references that interfere with and influence patterns of gait.
Establish a plan of care, incorporating scapula function, to reduce thoracic impingement and femoral/tibia instability.
Outline grouped supination and pronation patterns of afferentation that compromises decompression (impingement) and control (instability) in the frontal plane.

Dan was a phenomenal presenter – he was clear, gave easy to understand examples, had some great analogies to explain how techniques help direct air flow, he stayed on time, and made the course fun. Out of all the PRI courses I’ve taken so far, I enjoyed I&I the most – because of presenter style and the material itself. Looking forward to the next one! | New York, NY, November 2024
Dan Houglum is excellent. He breaks down the complex PRI concepts in a very digestible way. He is up there with my favorite PRI speakers! | New York, NY, November 2024
Dan does a great job of presenting the material in an easily digestible way. |Live Stream – August 2024
This might be my new favorite course! The discussion of functional cord dominance and the neurological basis for all non-manual techniques was very helpful. I especially enjoyed the demonstration of how referencing one reference center over another during the same non-manual technique can accomplish two very different objectives. The detailed discussion of the role of the scapula during forward locomotion really tied all the primary course material together into one coherent concept. This is a very practical course that can be applied in the clinic immediately. Excellent presentation all the way around. |Live Stream – August 2024
This was my 5th course and one of my favorites thus far as it helped to tie in the primary courses and will help me to better treat various patients in physical therapy – treat the why and not just a bandaid. | Valencia, CA – March 2024
Dan was incredible. The reiteration of concepts and demonstration was amazing. | Valencia, CA – March 2024
I love the fact that he is a clinician treating patients. It makes him very relatable.| Live Stream-August 2023
This was simply the best course I have ever taken. I was able to implement and understand the content from the 3 primary courses much better. The reference centers will help me a lot in teaching my patients the non-manual techniques. Dan lived this course and delivered it perfectly. I am totally satisfied and would recommend ANYONE to take this course. It provides answers to many questions I have asked myself before. Thank you Postural Restoration! | Munich, Germany-August 2023
Dan did a great job of breaking down theory and helping us translate Ron’s way of writing/thinking. I&I was the big picture course I needed to organize the thoughts I had on the primary courses. | Munich, Germany-August 2023
Dan is an engaging, dynamic teacher who thoroughly explains complicated information well. He does a good job layering in examples. | Live Stream-January 2023
Dan is great! He helps bring everything (other courses) all together. Very thorough and repeats things frequently so that they resonate! | Live Stream-January 2023
Dan is an excellent instructor!! I really enjoyed this class as it starts putting the puzzle pieces together, wow! | Live Stream-August 2022
Dan is an exceptionally organized teacher and has an incredible ability to field questions without them interfering with the flow of the class. | Live Stream-August 2022
This course was outstanding. The concepts of impingement, instability, and integration truly rounded out my knowledge. I also feel much more confident helping my clients now that I understand how to get them to own their upright positions. | Live Stream-August 2022
This was by far my favorite course from PRI. I feel like my understanding and ability to use PRI GREATLY increased after this course. | Wellesley, MA-March 2022
Dan gave probably the best PRI lecture I’ve attended so far! | Wellesley, MA-March 2022
Very informative and Dan did a great job breaking down and making the information understandable. | Wellesley, MA-March 2022
This was my 4th time to take this class and although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each rendition from the different instructors, this version taught by Dan Houglum really stood out. There’s so much material in this class but Dan managed to present it all with a common thread of compression and decompression. One highlight was an emphasis on the subscapularis in the scapular section – very insightful and extremely clinically relevant. | Live Stream, August 2021
So wonderful! Best course I have taken, and have so much appreciation for Ron’s beautiful cortex! | Fort Collins, CO-March 2020
Amazing course showing how cortical sense of compression allows us to properly alternate and reciprocate. | Fort Collins, CO-March 2020
Most comprehensive ‘connect the dots’ course. | Fort Collins, CO-March 2020
Awesome course, great clinical pearls! Tons of food for thought. Wouldn’t change a thing but could make this a weeklong course to totally dive into everything even more. Should be a requirement for PRC. (This is) stuff I should have been doing the whole time. | Aurora, IL-June 2019
Did a great job of filling the gaps from the primary courses. | Lima, OH-November 2018
Love, love love! Thank you for giving me the “special sauce” | Lima, OH-November 2018
This course has put so many pieces of the puzzle together. Great information and exciting to be better treating my patients now. | Lima, OH-November 2018
Can’t wait to do more! Very very engaging! | St. Louis, MO-September 2018
My favorite PRI course I’ve taken, really ties everything together. | Tucson, AZ-July 2018
These PRI courses continue to make sense out of “patterns” I have seen for 30 years and not understood. Thank you. | Raleigh, NC-June 2017
Definitely helped add the glue to seal together all the primary classes. | Philadelphia, PA-March 2015
Great course, Great Content, Great instructor! | Philadelphia, PA-March 2015
Very comprehensive – tied a lot of loose ends together for me! | Philadelphia, PA-March 2015
The best PRI course I’ve attended (all, at least once) – everything came together. | Prescott Valley, AZ-October 2012
Exceeded my high expectations!! Thank you. | Prescott Valley, AZ-October 2012
For a difficult topic – the class was really engaging. I picked up a lot of the advanced info I need to transition from foundational PRI. Thanks! | Prescott Valley, AZ-October 2012
Excellent way of presenting material in a fun way! | Salem, OR-October 2012
I am amazed that a course with less lab time than other classes was so engaging. Nice work with presentation! | Salem, OR-October 2012
Great job. Kept it light and easy to understand with plenty of photos and videos. Photos and videos extremely helpful. | Williston, VT-September 2012
Excellent course. Many moments of increased clarity. | Williston, VT-September 2012
This is my 3rd time taking I&I and I still feel like I learned more to strengthen my skills as a PRI therapist. Education never ends! The class has improved over the years with more detail given to prescription alternatives/goals and progression of more clinic application is always helpful. | Williston, VT-September 2012
It was great, really expanded my knowledge of Postural Restoration. | Brevard, North Carolina, June 2012
Great job as always! PRI has influenced my career beyond belief and continues to do so!! | Lincoln, Nebraska, January 2012
Very excellent course! Tied a lot of things together for me. | Lincoln, Nebraska, January 2012
Thank you, what I’ve been looking for, hopefully will change my practice. | Seattle, Washington, November 2011
The more I learn, the more it makes sense. | Seattle, Washington, November 2011
PRI is the only concept I believe, feel, and others get it too. All other, even the instructors who know the material live it. PRI is on the importance level with water, nutrition, air…This course (as well as TMCC) has helped tip my beliefs completely and allow me to live it. I love the statement of “You can’t be half-pregnant.” | Seattle, Washington, November 2011
Ron is such a wonderful, kind, enthusiastic speaker. It was a treat to learn from him. | Seattle, Washington, November 2011
Can’t wait to take more PRI courses; this helps apply previous classes. | Seattle, Washington, November 2011
PRI continues to connect the dots and improve applicability to patient care. Thanks! | Chanhassen, Minnesota, September 2011
This is an amazing course that really pull things together! Go PRI!!! | Chanhassen, Minnesota, September 2011
Amazing, unique, integrated approach which has been exceedingly effective in my practice. I look forward to applying the new paradigms. | Virginia Beach, Virginia, January 2011
Thank you for all of the work you do. You are great. Also, the class was really enjoyable. This stuff is addicting…I want to keep learning more. Also, please tell Ron thank you again for all of the hard work that he does to teach and educate us all. This has really changed the way I practice and came at a time I was becoming frustrated with limited outcomes and the PT profession. It has certainly rejuvenated me. So again, thanks for everything. | Lincoln, Nebraska, August 2010
Ron’s love and passion for PRI is addicting. It is much more exciting attending a course when he’s so excited to talk about it. | Bismarck, North Dakota, September 2009
Thank you for the Impingement and Instability course. I am glad you focused on the “system” and integrating it. I had an A-HA moment and now I’m looking for what I should inhibit and use to get patients into neutral without any manual techniques. It’s faster and easier to look for what to turn off and shut down to start retraining. | Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 2008
Thanks for all the time and work you do to allow us to learn and treat our patients as a whole “system”! | Minnepolis, Minnesota, October 2008
This course in some ways was more integrated than the Advanced Integration course. I found it very useful at “pulling” together a lot of ideas and concepts. The main concepts of calcaneal instability, patellar instability, pelvic instability and scapular instability are fantastic! | Minnepolis, Minnesota, October 2008
This course helped advance previous concepts and integrate treatment for very clinically relevant conditions! | Minnepolis, Minnesota, October 2008
This course made it very clear that instability anywhere in the body affects the “whole system”. | Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 2008
I would like to give a big thank you for a wonderful weekend. It was by far the most enjoyable class ever and I look forward to the next integration class in November. | Lincoln, Nebraska, August 2007
Ron – I wanted to express my gratitude to you for the help I gained by being a class case study. I have believed in PRI since I first sought help and as I continue to learn my faith in it’s principles is strengthened. I am convinced that my search for my own pain has benefit for every patient I see, as I apply my limited PRI knowledge. I look forward to learning and regaining pain-free movement as I study PRI more! Thank you. | Lincoln, Nebraska, March 2007
