What a great weekend in Tucson, Arizona this past weekend! I not only got to enjoy blue skies and 65 degrees (Lincoln, NE snowy and 20 degrees), but I also had the pleasure of introducing a third of the class to PRI. It was a great weekend of pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet going into the weeds of detail with muscle actions, positions, and objective testing. The class participation was great with questions, participation, and engagement. I felt the participants appreciated the objective tests and how they can make improved PRI exercise selections when understanding what these tests are showing them. I also felt the power of the respiratory and pelvic diaphragms for internal pressure regulation and air flow were better understood with correct pelvic position. The facility was amazing and thank you to Ben and the University of Arizona for hosting Pelvis Restoration this past weekend. It was a great start to 2020!

Thank you Forward Fitness (Mike) for hosting Pelvis Restoration this past weekend. Fourteen healthcare and fitness practitioners were attending their FIRST PRI course. Seasoned PRI course attendees were also present and helpful for our newbies. I am more convinced than ever getting a sound foundation and understanding of the three primary PRI courses helps us the most clinically to assist our patients, athletes and clients.

Appreciation of PRI objective tests and how they demonstrate PRI neutrality, need for clinical inhibition of muscle, frontal plane integration, and restoring the human gait pattern for a reciprocal and alternating pelvis were capitalized this past weekend. Most importantly, hitting home how the respiratory and pelvic diaphragm and synchronization of the left and the right side for integration of all the above to occur.

I truly appreciate all that attended and sacrificed a weekend away from family and friends to learn. It was a beautiful fall weekend, but we rocked it inside learning and developing our skills.

A shout out to Jon, Tim, and Nancy who brought treatment tables. Nancy Hammond my amazing lab assistant, your passion for PRI is inspiring. Again, thank you Mike for hosting your first PRI course. It was truly humbling to teach you all.

What a fun weekend of teaching Pelvis Restoration this past weekend in Lancaster. Nearly 3/4 of the class was attending their FIRST PRI course. I know many individuals have opinions what primary course attendees should attend first and many think Pelvis should be the last to attend of the the three primary courses. That being said, these professionals were amazing with understanding new concepts, looking at the pelvis in the detail of position, muscle facilitation/inhibition, and application of PRI tests needed for treatment. Yes, it's a lot of material, but one must understand it's the integrator between Postural Respiration and Myokinematic Restoration. If you don't have a pelvic inlet you won't get a ZOA needed for trunk rotation (Postural Respiration). If you don't have inlet and outlet frontal plane control you won't manage a hip (Myokin). My fellow course participants got it and did amazingly well. What an awesome weekend, learning shouldn't stop in our careers! Thank you for being open minded to new concepts and I hope you all come to love PRI as much as I do.

A shout out to Cathy Ingram and the rest of the staff at Lancaster for hosting this past weekend. Lancaster had 15 participants from their staff alone attending the course this past weekend. Thank you so much for the set up, tear down and organization. Most importantly, thank you for your passion for PRI.

Also, a huge thank you to Frank Mallon for being a wonderful lab assistant. Frank is humble, approachable, an amazing clinician with a strong passion for learning and PRI.

Thank you Ryan Murray and the rest of the Fortius Athletic Staff for hosting Pelvis Restoration this past weekend. Also, a huge thank you to Jon Rowe, CSCS, PRT, for being my lab assistant.

This class was awesome with their questions, desire to learn and their attention the entire weekend. This course is challenging from the sheer amount of information given and you guys did great. Pelvis Restoration goes into great detail with position, muscle inhibition/facilitation and respiratory concepts behind "AFIR" and "AFER." I feel the concept of push/pull and asymmetry between the left and right side for alternation during the gait cycle hit home. Vancouver is a beautiful city and I hope to come back and visit. Thanks again!!
