Postural Restoration Institute

Course Description

This advanced lecture and demonstration course will explore issues of impingement and instability as they relate to the Left AIC and Right BC pattern. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and management skills when treating diagnoses such as calcaneal instability, knee instability, hip impingement, ilium instability, scapula instability, shoulder impingement, and multidirectional HG and FA instability. Guidance will be offered in assessing 'instability' and 'impingement' as related to early and late pathologic function following the asymmetrical human developed patern (Left AIC/Right BC) of unilateral dominance, habit , and consistent hand and foot usage.

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