The ENT Institute just north of Atlanta was the location of the latest Cervical Revolution presented to a curious, question asking and enthusiastic group of PT’s, athletic training, fitness and soft tissue professionals.
One major emphasis of Cervical Revolution is on the brainstem specifically nerve and CSF flow at that highly neurologic articulation located at Atlas and the occipital bone.  When a neck is unable to maintain neutrality and oscillating function, especially at the craniocervical articulation or the occipital atlanto joints, a wide range of symptoms are likely to occur.  These symptoms can include hypotonia affected by the fusimotor system, neuralgia, inflammation, tinnitus, dizziness and hypertonia especially with stiffness of cervical musculature and headaches.


This is a short list of symptoms that can also mimic Chiari-like symptoms that can include all of the above with sleep apnea and sleep disorders.   One goal of this course is to identify and restore normal spinal coupling of the cervical region through testing and non-manual techniques for proper tri-planer function of the neck, cranium and occlusal system.  In this course, the neck is the primary driver of cranial strain patterns that can appear in a non-pathological or pathological presentation.  The cervical spine has a direct relationship with osteopathic descriptions of cranial position including temporal bone influence on the jaw.  The occlusal system also has a strong influence of not only the cranium and neck but the entire body. This is known as the stomatognathic system, and it has a significant influence on the entire axial skeleton.


The staff at The ENT Institute was so excited about attending this course since they see so many patients with the symptoms previously mentioned and can see the application of PRI into their daily practice.  It is always a pleasure for a faculty member to have so many intelligent questions and see so many “ah-ha” moments from students eager to learn a detailed, and at times, challenging to assimilate course! 

 
Thank you very much to the staff at The ENT Institute including Allison, Jennifer, Niah, Miscelle, and Ann.  Thank you to Tassie for driving up from Warner Robbins, Mary Beth for all the great questions, Andy for your continuing journey, Danielle, Meghan, Roberta for your energy and last but not least, Kaitlin, for participating so well during lab.

Every three years we offer a summer PRT testing date, and this year it's happening again on June 7-8th! The application deadline for consideration for testing in June is March 15th.

What have other recent PRT credentialed providers shared about their experience with PRT credentialing

"The PRT credentialing process was an all around amazing experience and one of the best of my career.  First, going through the in-depth application process helps to challenge and grow your knowledge base and thought process while helping you to review and master so many details that go into the great science and practice of PRI.  You have no choice but to get better as you go through all of the steps.  Visiting the Institute and sitting for testing is an extremely rewarding experience that will test your thought process even farther.  Having the opportunity to work with and learn from brilliant people like Ron and Jen and other applicants is an experience that anybody should be excited and grateful to go through. If you love PRI, have been studying and practicing the science for awhile and want to take your understanding and ability to utilize principles and applications to the next level, then just do it and don’t look back!"
- Nick Rosencutter, CSCS, LMT, NSCA-CPT, PRT

"Sitting for the PRT was the most fulfilling endeavor of my professional career. Having spent time in the private, collegiate, professional, and tactical settings, holding a graduate degree and 12 certifications through 11 organizations, and having participated in, contributed to, and organized both conferences and summits, this was unquestionably the most dense, challenging, and rewarding experience of my 14 years in the field. There is a lot of curiosity as to what the Postural Restoration Institute is and if the principles they espouse are applicable in the realm of performance. Put succinctly, the Postural Restoration Institute provides a universally applicable model of expression: a framework for how we navigate the world. Whether you want to better understand the myokinmatics of gait, bridge the gap between performance and rehabilitation, or begin exploring systemic integration, you will find direction in the Postural Restoration Institute’s paradigm. The opportunity to spend a weekend in a room with Ron, Jen, Dan, and the rest of the PRI family was well worth the cost of the application alone. For anyone considering the process, it is one I feel confident saying, you will not regret pursuing." - Colin Kidwell, CSCS, PRT

"In a day and age where so many experiences are simply transactional, it is rare to have an educational experience where you feel “seen”. The PRT process was in many ways a therapeutic process in and of itself, just for that reason. The instructors were passionate, supportive, and welcoming. I cannot recommend this process enough. I walked away with a renewed passion for the science of PRI." - Colby Mamigonian, CSCS, PRT

If you are considering applying for PRT Credentialing this year or if you have any questions, please email Jennifer Platt!

Earlier this month, at our annual Advanced Integration course, we presented the PRI Director’s Dedication Award to two very deserving individuals who have had such a positive impact on our Institute. The PRI Directors Dedication Award was established in 2012 to recognize individuals’ ongoing dedication to their advancement in PRI. Susan Henning and Joe Belding were the very first recipients of the PRI Director’s Dedication Award, back in 2012. And this year, we were so honored to present the PRI Directors Award to two of their colleagues, Lisa Mangino and Jean Massé. To date, we have presented this award to 20 individuals and an award recognition plaque, which is pictured above, is displayed at the Postural Restoration Institute® in Lincoln, Nebraska, recognizing each of the PRI Directors Dedication Award recipients.

Lisa Mangino and Jean Massé are physical therapists and colleagues, in Chapel Hill, NC. Lisa began her PRI journey 14 years ago, taking her first course (Myokinematic Restoration) in 2009 at the University of Duke, where she was employed. Not long after, in 2010, Jean Massé, who was influenced by co-workers and PRC therapists Susan Henning and Joe Belding at Advance Physical Therapy, completed her first PRI course. She went on to complete PRC credentialing in 2013.  

Jean is a nationally recognized Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the American Physical Therapy Association, since 1999. She continues to be a regular speaker at the UNC Chapel Hill Department of Physical Therapy on the subject of scoliosis and chronic pain. 

She and Lisa obtained the preliminary C1 and Advanced C2 Schroth scoliosis certification in 2013. They have been treating young and older people with scoliosis since.

Lisa completed PRC credentialing in 2014, the same year that she began working at Advance Physical Therapy in Chapel Hill, with Susan, Joe and Jean. And, they have all worked alongside each other for the past 10 years. 

Lisa’s passion is working with children, and as a pediatric therapist at Advance Physical Therapy, and the University of Duke Medical Center, she has touched the lives of so many children and families in her career. Her dedication to treating the child with neurological impairments led her to pursue certification in Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT), in 2009. Lisa obtained national recognition with her certification as a Board-Certified Pediatric Clinical Specialist (PCS) by the American Physical Therapy Association, in 2010. 

Over the years, Lisa and Jean have attended 10+ Advanced Integration courses. In 2017, they began teaching day 4 of the Advanced Integration course, on Curvature of the Spine, alongside colleague and mentor Susan Henning. And it was such an honor to have them here teaching day 4 of this course again this year!

In addition to their involvement with day 4 of the Advanced Integration course, they also co-authored Chapter 7 titled “Postural Restoration: A Tri-Planar Asymmetrical Framework for Understanding, Assessing, and Treating Scoliosis and Other Spinal Dysfunctions”, in the InTech open access book, “Innovations in Spinal Deformities and Postural Disorders”, back in 2017 with Susan Henning. And a couple years later, Lisa, Jean and Susan founded STRATER Scoliosis Institute, where they are dedicated to the education of physical therapy professionals for safe and effective treatment of scoliosis. Over the past 5 years, they have worked closely with PRI to receive permission to teach PRI copyrighted material in the STRATER level 1 and 2 courses. Katie Piraino, who is a PRC therapist, attended the STRATER level 2 course last month and emailed me shortly after. Her exact words were, “I just took the Strater Scoliosis 2 course. Only 15 participants, there should be 100’s they are so good!”

In addition to this dedication and involvement with education related to PRI and scoliosis, Lisa has spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours on course development over the past several years, including the former PRI Integration for Pediatrics affiliate course, and today’s Human Evolution course, which was taught for the first time in September 2022….and although it’s a relatively new course, it is already catching fire with PRINation.

In 2020, Lisa was also invited as an adjunct faculty member at High Point University, to teach a semester long selective course for Physical Therapy students titled, “Postural Restoration® - An Overview of Asymmetrical Human Movement”.

Congratulations to Lisa and Jean on such a deserving award!
