Impingement and Instability has had the pleasure to kick-off the new PRI educational calendar for the last several years. It’s a great course to establish a solid neurobiological foundation for the PRI Secondary and Tertiary courses. It was my distinct pleasure to help PRI practitioners on that journey, and this most recent course was no exception.

We’ve said this many times, but I&I was revamped six years ago to be a much more neurologically based course, pumped full of research. One of the bigger concepts we discuss is how valuable the sense of interception is, how to access it, and how unilaterally biased it is, based on research. We spend a lot of time discussing and demonstrating how asymmetrically powerful our vestibular senses are, and how those concepts are perfectly paired with PRI concepts.

We were able to have the time to demonstrate these concepts in two different manners, and how the sense of interoception is far more powerful that the sense of muscle contraction. By a wide, wide margin. This is typically the first course in which we have the opportunity to explain and demonstrate that the musculoskeletal system is a means to an end, rather than a desired end result. As a result, the attendees have a valuable opportunity to see and feel how intensely valuable the sensory system is to position and musculoskeletal performance.

This course has four unique PRI Non-manual techniques that capitalize on the conversations around pressure, neurobiology, and human asymmetrical sense of self that can only be found in the I&I course. These four unique PRI Non-manual techniques are a bridge to the rest of the PRI Secondary and Tertiary courses. It is a far more valuable experience for the live stream course attendees if there are in-person attendees available to perform these, as well as other, non-manual techniques because our discussions of reference centers and sense of pressure are better sensed than explained. My thanks to Ben Mix, Morgan McBee, Will Baum, and Eric Menchi for their attendance in-person, and their willingness to allow us to learn from them. We had a wonderfully diverse group of movement professionals attending via live stream as well. We had individuals in attendance from six countries outside of the United States, as well as seven individuals who have earned the distinction of Certification from the Postural Restoration Institute.

We had wonderful questions, dialogue, and conversation. I hope it was as rewarding a experience for those in attendance as it was for me as an instructor. The unique qualities of this course, as well as the exclusive PRI Non-manual techniques found only in this course, provide the attendee with different perspective on human performance and how to help humans better integrate their asymmetrical hemispheres of the brain through an improved sense of interoception via pressure management in several of regions of the body. If you are interested in progressing and advancing your knowledge of how the asymmetrical human brain works for motor function and how to better apply PRI concepts during selection and coaching of PRI Non-manual techniques, Impingement and Instability is a great way to begin that journey.

Looking forward to a wonderful 2026!

We are excited to release our 2026 course schedule and look forward to starting the new year with you! With more In-Person locations and continued online options we hope you are able to add a few missing pieces to your puzzle in the year ahead!

Stay tuned for our 2026 Programs & Courses Brochure coming soon!

We had such a great time in Brentwood, MO last weekend learning about patho and non-patho compensatory Left AIC patterns and positions. Position and Perspective were the “P” words of the weekend, with nearly all of us getting an enhanced perspective on the relationship of the position of the pelvis and femurs. Ron reminds me often that Myokinematic Restoration is a class about relationships, and the amazing people of this class made me appreciate the relationships of people as I made new friends while relating the importance of the position of our pelvis as it relates to performance.

We had stellar hosts at St. Louis City Fitness with the Mother/Son super star team of Marcia and Justin with their amazing colleagues Anne, Debbie, and Emilee. They all helped me relate Myokinematic Restoration to Gyrotonics and Pilates and gave me a new perspective on how restoring position and patterns can be implemented within their gym.

Major League Baseball was well represented with Chris, Adam, Wade, Josh, and Sam in attendance. The Cardinals, Athletics, and Reds are amazingly lucky to have a relationship with these fantastic fellas to provide their perspective on the body in order to reduce pathology and improve performance.

Kelli, Lauren, Josh, and Alena represented smaller outpatient Physical Therapy clinics and were an absolute joy to have in class. It was their first PRI course and they will now doubt bring their new perspective of patterns and positions back to their communities which will likely facilitate an enhanced relationship with their patients and clients.

Ambrose was absolutely Lovely to have in class and was our PT student representative. He was introduced to PRI at his PT school, which is fantastic to hear that a PRI perspective is being related to students at the beginning of their career.

St. Louis is known as being the gateway to the west, and this was certainly a class that provided a gateway to build relationships and change perspectives and patterns. Thanks for hosting St. Louis City Fitness!!

Like their beloved LA Dodgers, repeat World Series Champions, the Henry Mayo clinic has become a dynasty host site for PRI courses. MVPs John Adam, Julie Barker, PT, and Thomas “TJ” DiPrima, PT, ensured a comfortable space for a weekend of learning. We had an All-Star group of attendees, including fellow faculty and ace pitcher Kasey Ratliff, PRC, – who shared many insights in the clinical application of this complex material – and Cody Gillis, PRC, Jarrett Kolich, PRT, and Locatelli “Loc” Rao, PRC.

Two dentists in the audience, Sarah Phillips, DDS, and Ramin Partovy, DDS, served as designated hitters, increasing production and depth to our discussions on the dental implications on patterned cervical and cranial position. Your perspectives were greatly appreciated!

Rounding out the line-up were our avatars: Glen Gomez, DPT, Daniel Loub, CSCS, Tara O’Brien, DPT, Brandon Partovy, DC, David Shamash, CPT, and Wendy Honoka Shiva, DPT. They served as real-life examples of how overactivity of one side of the temporo-mandibular cervical chain of muscles assists the nervous system in upright management and navigation of the environment. Our atlas and lumbar spine orientation trigger a cascade of accommodative positions of the remaining spinal segments. With every step, forces are directed into the cranium, coalescing at the spheno-basilar junction and redistributed throughout the cranium.

As we know, our left cortical and right hemi-diaphragm dominance hold us in right stance. When alternation of our brains and bodies is limited – e.g. we sit too long and don’t shift enough – the spheno-basilar junction becomes patterned in its position. The most common pattern is the left sidebend position which, in turn, directs the temporal, sphenoid, maxilla, and mandibular bones. Over time, morphological changes in appearance takes hold, with mal-occlusion, and mal-neurological processing driving symptomatology, like TMD and headache pain, disc herniation, etc. The stage is now set for a pathological cranial position – right torsion – beget by trauma. Along with movement retraining, intervention by optometrists and dentists is critical in the management of these individuals.

Thank you to all attendees for your many questions and comments and diligence in mastering the cervical tests and techniques, with the left lateral pterygoid closing out the game. Looking forward to seeing you all again at future courses!

What an exciting opportunity to travel to Munich Germany for the latest offering of the Human Evolution course! I felt so honored by the folks at Lindebergs Academy with their gracious hospitality, amazing facility and yummy German treats.

We had a great group of attendees from not only Germany, but also Denmark, Italy, and China, as well as Michigan. It’s hard to imagine digesting the content of any PRI course in another language and this group really seemed to connect to the concepts presented. In fact, we had intellectually enriching discussions about the concepts of crawling, sensory processing, tonic neck integration, clockwise and counterclockwise sense and motion, and the sequential development of the glutes, to name a few.

The stairwell in the academy was the perfect place to experience kinesemiotic forward and backward stair climbing, not to mention additional sensory afferentation.

Munich is 6 hours ahead of our east coast home in North Carolina. I was thrilled to find out that Munich turned their clocks back one hour on Saturday night (after day one of the course) and that extra sleep was so welcomed. Upon return to NC, another hour was granted with daylight savings the following weekend! How lucky! However, I’m still not sure what time it is as I write this a couple days later.

Being that far from home, my partner and I had to stay to explore a bit. The trip was enriched with a delightful hike to the base of the Austrian Alps in Innsbruck. Though the descent proved to test my eccentric fitness… (turns out I have none). I left Austria with an amazing case of the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), which in direct German translation means “muscle cats.” Whew… my cats were mad!

On to Bolzano, Italy where we enjoyed some shopping and delicious Italian fare. After a gondola ride to the base of the elusive Dolomites due to the clouds, for another hike, we had to go to the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology to see “Ötzi, The Ice Man”. Ötzi is believed to have been killed in combat of some sort more than 5,300 years ago at the age of 40, during the copper age. Because of the cold climate, his body was well preserved, and these intact remains were found in 1991 by some hikers. The museum showcased research results of his physiology, gut, tools, and DNA for education. It was not at all surprising to see that his x-rays revealed more compression in his right hip than his left hip, VERY wide dental arches, and a more compressed right apical rib cage than his left. The photo depicts an approximation of what he might have looked like. You gotta love science!

A BIG THANK YOU to my gracious hosts Daniel Müller, Eckhart Acker (the best chauffeur in Germany!), Sonja Voracek, and Regina Frank for taking such good care of me and for hosting a yet another PRI course. Also thanks to PRC’s Nadja Himmelseher and Tracey Blain for your valuable contributions to the conversations. It will be a trip we will remember forever. So grateful for you all and for this memorable trip.

I had such a great time in Lincoln October 24th and 25th. We had a fantastic crew in person to help demonstrate manual and non-manual techniques in order repattern rib cages and pressure flow. There was a very attentive audience from around the world online with stellar questions to facilitate the flow of the class and stimulate discussion about rib cage and pressure management. Canada, Germany, Taiwan, and states from around the country were represented online.

Some PRI celebrities were online with us as well! Danielle Phillips in Louisville, Kentucky and Jennifer Bullock outside of Telluride, Colorado. We were fortunate to have them there to drop some of their PRI knowledge and experience!

Laura and Emily were a superstar mother / daughter PRI duo that were such a joy to have in class. Laura was a fantastic primary demonstrator for our manual techniques and was a classic example of a Superior T4 syndrome individual. I am excited to be at the beginning of Emily’s PRI journey!

We were lucky to be graced with Joshua’s soothing Texas voice, as well as his amazing PEC thorax. It was fun to see my friend Lauren and her big smile throughout the weekend, hopefully this complimented Myokin nicely for you, Lauren!

Kyle was a joy to have in class, not only to talk bikes, but to discuss how this class has evolved and improved from when he took it 10+ years ago. It was good to hear from him what he remembered from 10+ years ago and how information on patterns, pressure, and perspective changes over time.

At the end of the class, I found out that I will be able to hang out with Samuel again next month in St. Louis. Looking forward to it, Sam! I am excited to hear how he takes his PRI knowledge back to the Reds. World Series 2026 for Cincinnati!

What a joy it was to be in Lincoln this last week. Thank you to everyone online and in person for being such a fun audience. I am very grateful I get an opportunity to talk about something I am passionate about for two days. My hope is that this will assist individuals from multiple disciplines around the world to understand the importance of a rib cage and air pressure biomorphology.

Last weekend, I traveled to Annapolis MD with my husband Chris to teach Myokinematics of the Hip and Pelvis. Now that we are officially “empty nesters”, he is always willing and able to come along to help me during labs and provide a different perspective to PRI application. For those who don’t know, Chris is an athletic trainer and strength coach with a special interest in golf rehab and fitness. The course attendees were mostly new to the science of PRI. This is not at all strange for this course and it is a great place to start learning PRI. We discussed concepts of cortical dominance and forward locomotor movements as well as how to control their sympathetic nervous systems, get into proper position of both their legs in AFIR and AFER.

This group of attendees included PTs, PTAs, chiropractors, massage therapists and a physician from Walter Reed! I love how PRI continues to reach out into multiple arenas of clinical practice and disciplines. Thank-you to Ray for being a great host and giving us an amazing dinner recommendation for Saturday night. Annapolis is beautiful and the crab cakes at O’Leary’s were delicious. When in Rome!

In this rendition of myokin we explored the history of the management of hip instability and using the Hruska Adduction Lift score as a evaluation tool to help progressions of treatment. The group was small enough that we had a lot of time for questions and demonstrations of both facilitation and inhibition techniques. Myokin is a special course and often a great way for new clinicians to cut their teeth on an area of our anatomy that was familiar. It was fun to discuss how many clinicians were noticing asymmetries in the patients and now that had a PRI lens to go back to help their patients and clients.

I look forward to seeing these faces in future courses!
