Episode 38: Michael Pedersen, DPT, PTA, PRC

Michaels journey through PRI started off in a clinical PTA setting and through mentorship and exploration led him to undergo the PRC certification in 2022. From there Michael wanted to treat each patient in front of him individually, addressing their whole system from a PRI perspective. This led him to PT school and as he finishes up his last rotation with the @hruska_clinic he shares some of the insight he’s received as a student along the way!

The word “occlusion” is ‘something beautiful’ to me. (Sorry Miley Cyrus. Her music and film ‘Something Beautiful’ are being released at the end of this month. A song on this album, and in her film, entitled ‘Reborn’ has lyrics that say, “We’re so beautiful, letting go”. This summarizes a significant amount of my inquisitive emotion over the last 50 years, of my 70 years. 

We are so beautifully made, and yet humans, for various, often predictable reasoning, generate biased patterned occlusion. And we become so beautiful, operative and mindful when we let go of these biased body and mind behaviors.)
 
I have integrated genuine human movement patterns over time that relate to things that naturally come together, both in the mouth and the ground. My dental interest started many years before my ground interest. Teaching this course on occlusion, and it’s relationship to gravity, is a fabulous historical experience for me. The genuine reflection on sensitivity of force, related to lateral movement for acquisition of gravity and grind is ‘something beautiful’, that many take for granted.
 
It’s as close to ‘pop music’ of integrative individual sense, associated with forces coming together, as anyone will experience.
 
I want to thank Jason Masek, MSPT, ATC, CSCS, PRC, Torin Berge, PT, PRC and Abbey Kramer, DDS, who brought all of us together. This input, and all the questions and input that came from course attendees was truly ‘something beautiful’. 

-Ron

“This course is an introduction to “top down” dominant influences that ultimately create stress and strain in the cranial, occlusal and visual systems and are considered pathologic if left untreated. 

This course integrates many professional disciplines including physical therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy and dentistry among others with an emphasis on the stomatognathic system as it relates to the skeletal system. 

I want to thank @jenpoulinpt and Chris @btsportsperformance for providing their space, time and clinical experience, making this weekend one of the best Cervical Revolutions yet!”

As the snow season comes to a close remember that trunk rotation is required by many more activities than just skiing down the slopes.

Walking, running, sitting, standing and even sleeping all require us to rotate or disassociate our upper half (thorax) from our lower half (pelvis). 

In essence we rely on our ability, or lack there of, to rotate all day, everyday. 

Are you doing it efficiently?

Can’t wait to dive deeper this Friday during our Forward Locomotor livestream!
