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.

Neck neutrality will never stick if the ground(s) below are not sensed!
“If you walk away with one thing, remember that the quickest way to maintain ground sense through the entire system is by maintaining as many reference sites as possible, lucky for you, every PRI technique includes them.”

@g2sports hosted Myokinematic Restoration in Sammamish, WA and we had a nice mix of mostly new to PRI attendees with a handful of more seasoned folks. Mike Ball, PT, PRC hopped on the ferry from Vashon Island to join us and lend his expertise as our lab assistant.
We delved into human asymmetry and the L AIC pattern with an emphasis on the positions that the pattern creates. Position preceding facilitation and driving appropriate pattern inhibition was the focal point for day one. We concluded with a demonstration addressing Miguel Punsalan’s L AIC pattern and a great representation of how our tests of position changed once the pattern was inhibited and the pelvis repositioned.
Day two opened with more beautiful Seattle sunshine and we hammered down on using the Hruska Adduction Lift Test to identify what ingredients need to be focused on in treatment to hold onto our new pattern inhibition and ultimately get the body to alternate. I had a great discussion with Sumita Rao, PT, DPT, OCS in regards to the role muscle strength plays in our ability to be supported and stable in L stance. We discussed how strength work in a biased L AIC pattern will often result in just strengthening the pattern. We need to account for the pelvic and hip position necessary to achieve pattern inhibition and correct muscle facilitation as “weak” muscles are unable to demonstrate their true “strength” unless they are in a position to do so.
Our journeys’ through this process of life long learning at times meet with challenging information that may conflict with how we were taught and understand the human body. PRI is not here to knock down anyone’s foundation, that is where we come from, but it is no where near our ceiling. We are all incomplete and evolution requires openness, humility, and drive. Thank you to this group for helping me on my own path, my greatest hope is that our time together can serve as another rung onward

This is NOT just a “Pediatric” course. You will not regret gaining a better understanding of the developmental processes, sequencing, and evolution that we ALL go through on a daily basis!
But don’t take my word for it………
Here’s what others have said:
“I am able to better understand my adult clients that have had issues from early on in their life, without any obvious explanations. It helps me understand what questions might be helpful to ask.”
“There were so many great gems from this course from kiddos to adults, for sensorimotor and scoliosis, for dysautonomia and athletes!”
“Refreshing to take a class that on the surface would not pertain to athletes or mid-age people, yet it is completely pertinent. And to everyone. My brain has been expanded and enriched, PRI keeps getting better and better!”

The Cranial Resolution was hosted, so graciously, @pilatescentralwellness last weekend! About a third had never taken it before, some had taken it once and the rest had taken it multiple times. I ultimately decided to start out with a clean slate, laying down a solid foundation to make sure everyone understood and was on equal footing with regards to the basic anatomy of the paired structures that are involved in Cranial Resolution (including their position, functions, movements, linkages, and the flow of air, fluid and/or brain waves through or around them) and by introducing the model of tensegrity that is involved with the cyclical integration of our AND and CNS.
Once this foundation was laid, the dynamics of the group worked in such a magical manner. I felt more like of a facilitator at times, allowing the knowledge and experience of those present to be exchanged in a way that was beneficial for all of us. @danhouglum occasionally gave his concise explanations of biomechanical realities, @neal_hallinan offered and even demonstrated his insights into auditory influences, @drlocrao allowed us to all witness how much further addressing the autonomics can take someone on their (already extensive) PRI journey, and everyone got to experience how fast the modulation of airflow can make someone feel unstable, dizzy, and/or lost in space.
Day 2 allowed us to progress through the algorithms, use and discuss the `whens and whys` of all the props that this course is known for (cotton balls, hemi-billed caps and hyperboloids) and we even had time to go through the cranial manual techniques!
Thanks to everyone involved, especially @donnapbyrne for being an outstanding host. I also must thank those attendees who were new to Cranial Resolution for helping to keep us all | grounded. And although @alx.rdrz , David, @kasiagalica and Jill may have taken this course before, they all continually inspired me with their questions, enthusiasm and visible `ah hah` moments. The live stream courses are convenient and offer recordings, but in my opinion, nothing could have beat this in-person experience!

This one’s for all the Super-moms!
Episode 35: Deanna Elliott, PT, DPT, PRC
@centeredpt
Focusing her treatment on starting with the basics, breathing, daily living, and most importantly remaining grounded. Whether taking someone through birthing preparation for a better labor, or helping them develop a individual post-partum plan, Deanna focuses her attention on their ability to maintain ground sense for pelvic positioning, respiration, and daily life.
Deanna doesn`t stop at the diaphragms. Her treatment approach also focuses on the functional side of digestion, gut health, vagal tone, autonomics and the daily experiences that her patients deal with.
Alongside reeducation for daily living, Deanna uses tools like the Gl Map to test for microbial health, Genetic or hormonal deficiencies, such as methylation, mutations, organ health, inflammation, nutrition and other mapping. Deanna often requires her patients to agree to a "journey" with her through multiple tests and re-tests if she is going to work with them, as she believes all of it needs to be addressed individually within the same program for every patient!

Last week I travelled over to Goldsboro, NC along with my co-worker Steven Blair to teach the new updates on Myokinematics of the Hip and Pelvis. This was my first time teaching the new course since Dan and I filmed it for the Home Study last fall (Available now). I have been teaching this course since 2010 and have been involved in prior edits to make the material more digestible and understandable. Based on the initial feedback, I think we did just that!
We explored and explained the asymmetries and common compensations that can affect our patients ability to function in daily life and how these compensations can poorly impact our athletes performance in sport or leisure activities. The new format of utilizing the Hruska Adduction Lift Test (HADLT) to guide clinical progressions went great and we of course hit upon the history of proper myofunctional progressions for both the patient with hip stability and instability. We had a group of mostly rehab professionals and most all of the course attendees had been working along side clinicians using the science of PRI in their clinical practice.
Our hostsite UNC Goldsboro represented approximately 50% of the attendees. Patrick and Micheal were amazing hosts. They made us all feel welcomed and at home!
