Postural Restoration Institute

Course description

This four-day advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the relationship between pathomechanic patterns. It is highly advanced and interactive and reflects PRI concepts covered in both the Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration courses in an integrative fashion. We will explore in detail both non patho-compensatory and patho-compensatory issues as they related to the Left AIC and Right BC pattern. Anatomy, examination tests, algorithms and lab with be presented with integration as the focus rather than separated by regions of the body.

*Prior attendance of Myokinematic Restoration and Postural Respiration is required.

A certificate for 30 contact hours will be awarded to registrants upon completion of the course.

Tuition $725
