“Vision is the product of the interaction of four components, anti-gravity, centering, identification, and the speech-auditory process. This is the first sentence of the introductory section of the course, and was written by AM Skeffington in his 1964 ‘Introduction of Clinical Optometry’ course. The anti-gravity system is responsible for balance and posture. The centering system is defined as an attentional and orienting system for selecting where the body, head and eyes are directed.
Our hemi-environments, and their associated occupancy of our body, require vertical visual vestibular vigilance. How we direct ourselves, place ourselves, and use the space activity around us and the air-flow in us, all depend on our midline and center experiences, as related to our vestibular sense and visual perception.
A course attendee wrote, “I am pouring over the course notes and your attention to detail for this course was so well done!!! I appreciated how you took each journal article and highlighted the importance of what you gained from their insight regarding vision, sensory input, pedal sense, and the ability move forward.”
Another attendee wrote, “I appreciate all the work and research that went into this. The recognition of all of the research considered was important for the optometrist that attended the course with me. I think that was quite valuable and I appreciated the main points of how to recognize the value of ground-up position and input before refraction was stressed . .. “
Our mechanoreception is built around standing and upright movement on two feet, using two upper extremities, and the cortical visual processing associated with this upright proprioceptive control. Therefore, this course outlines how to arrive at binocular alignment at distance, when standing, to reduce misalignment tendencies, overuse of visual vergence, and visual vestibular instability related to depth imperception.
If you want more information on how to clinically involve and incorporate both eyes with both feet, equally, as much as possible, for acceptable vertical behavior, then this course was organized and is being offered for you.”

@stepsforrecovery a Postural Restoration Certified Center and home for this past weekend’s Postural Restoration course, has offered its patients the Postural Restoration model of care for many years. Several of their clinicians were in attendance to sharpen their PRI skills. In addition, nearly a third of participants were newcomers to the science of human movement. They were treated to the collective wisdom of three PRC-credentialed clinicians, who elevated the course for all: Craig Depperschmidt, PT, Lisa Mangino, PT, and Sangini Rane, PT.
Our patients/clients often are clueless about where our diaphragm is and how it moves and functions and how our rib cages become stiff and patterned. Furthermore, they often function in a state of hyperinflation, with poor neuro-sensory awareness that doesn’t allow them to get out of this state. Our thorax, after all, houses so much of our physiology and, when stiff and patterned, influences both movement and psycho-sensory processing. Want to help your patient/client with more efficient movement? Resolve headaches, shoulder, neck, and back pain and the multitude of extremity “-itis’s”? Hasten recovery from surgical procedures? Reduce anxiety, gut issues, and shortness of breath? Do you strive to elevate your practice through improved understanding of how and why our asymmetrical diaphragm becomes patterned in its position and movement? And how and why this pattern influences, for better or worse, the way we move our bodies, when upright, against gravity? Postural Restoration addresses these challenges, with multiple evidence-based research and real-life patient photos and videos and lots of hands-on lab sessions to guide the attendee through assessment and treatment.
A huge “thank you” goes out to our lab models, who gamely served as patient avatars to allow us to understand how to assess pelvis and thorax position and pathology, and how to treat what we see. Ashley, Lauren, and Katie: I speak for the class when I say we appreciated your wonderful hospitality this weekend. Thank you for inviting us in and providing a comfortable atmosphere!

It was amazing to be back in Seattle to teach Pelvis Restoration. Thank you @alpineptseattle for hosting. Eli, Jeremiah, and Murph your energy and passion for PRI is palpable.
The course participants were fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed the questions and intrigue into the science of PRI. The take home message of having TWO sides of a pelvis-left and the right was a good reminder. In addition, the left and right hemi-pelvis need to be in a different position and alternate to gain optimal function was a huge take home message.
This video of Reggie Bush ⬅️(#reposted via @nfloncbs ) that @jmillermtpt shared with me over lunch to reinforce this need for tri-planar alternation of the pelvis was fabulous!
Thank you Jason for assisting and training with me in Seattle. Thank you to the course participants for your time and openness for me to "twist your brain" as we learn together how amazing the human body is.

In Missoula, Montana, a river runs through it, flowing with Postural Restoration science and application provided at Revo Training Center in the heart of town. Revo is located in a former Baptist church with stained glass windows and high ceilings inside an older brick building that makes presenting courses at this location, well, heavenly! The space has inspiring acoustics and a modern day functional gym setting that is perfect for teaching and learning.
Postural Respiration was the primary course this past weekend presented to a diverse group of fitness personnel, PT’s, a DC, an occupational therapist, and a massage therapist from Canada. For most of the attendees this was their first exposure to Postural Respiration. With so many fitness professional attendees the application to performance was emphasized as well as clinical application to the healthcare professionals and their practices.
Accessory muscle overuse is one of the main topics regarding patho-mechanical respiration especially as it applies to forward head posture and Superior T-4 Syndrome. A “nod” to Cervical Revolution was provided since respiration, in large part, determines balanced rotation and neutrality of the neck and management of the airway.
Thank you so much to the Revo crew including Callie, Grant, Kirsten, and Mariah for providing such a great venue. Huge thanks to my friend, fellow faculty member and colleague Jason Miller, DPT, PRC for his knowledge and experience. And, thank you to all attendees from different disciplines for travelling and sharing this PRI experience.

So you suspect your right ilium is tipped forward……..in that case it is likely that so is your left.
(Bilateral AIC)
(PEC)
Or maybe you are relying on one of the two scenarios Craig mentions here.
What do the TESTS tell you? Did you even objectively test it?
Without understanding the science behind why someone can or cannot adduct a femur by clearing the acetabular rim via a neutral pelvis, nothing you perceive or palpate is very powerful and you may actually be further reinforcing their pattern!

“I had the distinct pleasure of spending the weekend in Brunswick, Maine at Coastal Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Physical Therapy teaching Myokinematic Restoration. Much like the fall colors showing themselves on the changing leaves, we endeavored to change our perspective on the body’s musculoskeletal system. Developing an appreciation of inherent human asymmetrical patterns and their influence on achieving a “good posture” that allows the body to oscillate between two sides passing through the intersection of “neutral”.
The group did a great job engaging in discussions and asking questions throughout the weekend. Margo Goodman, DO, provided an insightful observation that her assessments of pelvic position may be skewed by the asymmetric body interfacing with the symmetric table. I had a great discussion with Kelsey Bisson, CSCS, and Beth Carlton, MS, NASM-CES, about how to integrate PRI activities in the strength and conditioning environment and the challenges faced in application. Emily Schmitt, DPT, asked great questions around the application of myokin material related to her work in pelvic health.
On Sunday the group joined me in celebrating the NY Yankees first playoff win of the season, a welcome surprise being this far north in Red Sox country. The day was spent dissecting the Hruska Adduction Lift Test, nailing down the technique, scoring, and interpretation of the results, then using those test results to guide our activity selection. There were a few “holy cow!” exclamations (no doubt a nod to the historic Yankee great and announcer Phil Rizzuto) as we worked through activities and had the opportunity to experience and practice the non-manual techniques.”

The angles of perception…….
Where is your midline?
How is it sensed?
What is perceived?
Will it make you fall?
Day 2 of Visual Vestibular Refinement introduced testing of the utricle and balance center via (PRI) Subjective Visual Vertical Tests (SVVT) and manipulation of our sense of angulation from our floor(s)!

I recently had the opportunity to teach Cranial Resolution in Virginia Beach. Only one person in attendance had previously taken the course, and that person was @juliea2zblandin Julie graciously offered incredible insight and experience regarding the material and techniques, especially during the final four hours of the course, which were exclusively devoted to clinical application. I cannot thank Julie enough for both hosting the course and for all that she brought to it.
The other attendees, who were all Cranial newbies, seemed to grasp the concepts remarkably well. It was gratifying to witness more than a few ah – hah moments . . . and to field questions that clearly illustrated that people were starting to understand the difference between ANS tension and CNS tone, what neutrality really means, why we need to insure (and help guide) clients to be able to functionally cycle sensory afferentation, and grasp the reasoning behind the unique thoracic cranial techniques for which this course is known. Since I am first and foremost a clinician, I loved making this brilliant, yet sometimes seemingly esoteric material, more user friendly.
To me this course serves as a bridge, a bridge that connects neuro and physiological adaptations to predictable orthopedic compensatory patterning. It was therefore very appropriate to be able to look out from where I was staying on the shore just north of Virginia Beach and see the 17.6-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It was an awesome sight, especially at night when it was all lit up . . . just like those bridges in our brains.

Pelvis Restoration meets Jupiter, Florida! It was a great class! Thank you David and @myarisefl Center for Athletic Development for hosting us all this past weekend!
Course attendees had many "aha moments” including,
“Treating PEC patterns with reciprocal respiratory activity first and then addressing the underlying L AIC”
“Learning to treat TWO pelvic diaphragms (floors)”
“Using the power of respiration to regulate internal pressure”
Thanks to everyone who joined and traversed travel and storm preparations to discuss the Pelvis!

The Cantrell Center in Warner Robins, GA, has long been a PRI facility under the long-time leadership of @tassiecantrell For me, it was a full-circle moment. In 2006, after taking a few years to study PRI concepts, my first course to get back into PRI was at the Cantrell Center. The course was Postural Respiration with Ron as the instructor. And from that point forward, PRI has been an exceptionally rewarding professional and personal journey. So it was not lost on me that nearly 20 years later, I was teaching the same course in the same facility that jump-started my professional relationship with PRI.
This course was a wonderful mix of PRI veterans and those new to the science of PRI. The labs were wonderful, with the help of @samanthaanderson_dpt PRC. There is so much lab on the second day of this course, and with Samantha’s help, everyone had the opportunity to experience the manual and non-manual techniques. This course has been tweaked and updated several times since the first time I took this course in 2004, most recently in 2022. If you haven’t taken this flagship course of PRI, I would encourage you to do so as this course is the gateway to Cervical Revolution, Cranial Resolution, Impingement and Instability, Human Evolution, Voice Box Resonance, and Forward Locomotion Movement.
My thanks to the @cantrellcenter and specifically the staff that were in attendance: Johnathan, Maria Christina, Samanatha, Erin, Linda, Braxton, Dina, Elizabeth, Keeley, and Cindy. And Sunshine was the perfect host as she attended to all of our needs during the course. It was also so great to reconnect with PRI veterans Karen Warren, PT, Mary Beth Verlander, PT, Melissa Baudo PT, and Angela Nelson, LMT. Hope to see you at the new and improved Postural Restoration!

Pre-integration and post-integration pictures of one of our PRIME patients last week. Monday images are his “normal” tendencies even after a really good PRI program. Thursday images are with a new vision prescription to reestablish proper vertical sense through his visual-vestibular system and a concurrently calibrated MOOO.

If your evolution as a human is centered around lateralized hemispheric behavior, the torque and tension created within are likely to result in some degree of curvature of your spine!
We all have and should have some curvature as a result of our internal asymmetry, and pressure management but sometimes our patterning pushes us past this normal range!
The Human Evolution course discusses these patterns in relation to developmental sensory motor sequences (PRDSMS) and developmental processes (PRDPS) that literally shape who we become and how we thrive into adulthood!

“The big picture of this course is that it is a right stance course that primarily relates to and starts at the atlas and occipital bone with the right atlas being in a position of flexion in relationship to the occipital bone. Inside the cranium, where the occipital bone connects to the sphenoid, right cranial extension occurs. This cranial position drives right temporal bone internal rotation that results in a protruded jaw on the right and a retruded jaw on the left with a mandible positioning more left! (If the mandible positions right this could indicate a compensation or pathology) The opposite occurs on the left side and this course is designed to identify this pattern and position, inhibit it, shift to the other side and then alternate back and forth. This variability of alternation is essential for upright human beings and whatever the feet, pelvis and ribcage are doing (Refer to the three primary courses), the neck knows it! Simply put, the goal is to achieve right A/O extension, left A/O flexion and go back and forth as if you are walking! (Because you are!)
This big picture description succinctly describes the basics of this course and then add the five cervical revolution tests with repositioning and then alternation techniques and the basics are covered! As with any course in PRI, day two adds a dimension that is considered pathological from the basic dominant pattern and position and for this course it is called right torsion. Right torsion is essentially torsion and stress located in the cranium that may result in neurologic symptoms including headache, ataxia, vision disturbances, dizziness and TMJ disorders to mention a few.”

Spent the weekend Collaborating with so many integrative minds in Reno, NV at this years @_aapmd_ Collaboration Cures convention!
It was such a pleasure to be joined by several PRC therapists @bradgilden @erin_dpt @lauriegrib20 @donnabehr_pt_pri_pilates who continue to help introduce our outlined asymmetrical human patterning to not only dentists but so many other disciplines.
After speaking to many myofunctional therapists, speech pathologists, dentists, dental hygienists, physicians and physical therapists, it is clear that regulating a bi-lateral pelvis, thorax, neck, “airway” and cranium above, are more important then ever! And this need is becoming more and more recognized as clinicians work to manage these sometimes challenging cases as a team.
