We are SO excited to show you this recent published article on the “Clinical Application of the Right Sidelying Respiratory Left Adductor Pull Back Exercise”. Kyndall Boyle,PT, PhD, OCS, PRC does a fantastic job describing why this technique is used and what outcome it achieves. Check it out HERE!
Did anyone hear Jason Masek speak at the NATA convention? Tell us about it!
Last weekend we were able to spend a couple days with the faculty of PRI. What a great couple of days spent discussing course development, clinical updates, the upcoming year and how much we all appreciate one another! We thought we would share a couple pictures from the weekend!
It’s a busy week of traveling for PRI! If you are attending the NATA Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposia in Las Vegas on June 25-27th, be sure to stop by and visit Jen and Paige at the PRI booth in the AT Expo! PRC therapist Jason Masek will also be presenting a Special Topic on Thursday morning titled “Breathing’s Influence on Upper-Quarter Dysfunction.”
Paige will then fly to Chicago for the Perform Better Summit being held June 28-30th at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. If you are attending this event, be sure to visit Paige at the PRI booth, and also check out PRC therapist Michael Mullin’s lecture and hands-on workshops titled “Principles of Postural Restoration for the Sports Clinician.”
They will be updating the PRI Facebook and Twitter feed (@postrestinst) throughout the week, so be sure to follow them!
It’s ready! The Pelvis Restoration Home Study course will be arriving to our office tomorrow. You can register for the course now and we will get it shipped out the beginning of next week. Register HERE or contact us!
We compiled a video highlighting “PRI Integration of Power and Strengthening Concepts with Modern Day Equipment, Philosophies and Techniques” and are excited to share it with you. These techniques are currently being carried out by Mike Arthur, Director of Strength & Conditioning at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Mike was one of our featured speakers at our annual Interdisciplinary Integration symposium.
For those of you registered for the Interdisciplinary Integration Symposium in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 11-12, please note that we have MOVED the course location from the Postural Restoration Institute to the Grand Manse in downtown Lincoln. If you are registered, and have not received a confirmation letter for this course…please contact us! Can’t wait to see you in the spring!

We received another great question on the treatment of right ischial tendonitis…
The reason we include a discussion on left ischial tendonitis and not right is because right ischial tendonitis is often ‘cleaned up’ or treated with a conventional myokinematic approach to the treatment of the Left AIC or PEC pattern. One would start with “pulling” the anteriorly rotated pelvis back to neutral with left hamstring engagement (90-90 Supported Hip Lift with Hemibridge) then proceed with right glute max activity to “shift” the pelvis to the left and “rotate” the pelvis into left AF IR and right AF ER, therefore, reducing strain on the contracting, shortened right hamstring and the proximal attachment of the hamstring on the right ischial seat.
So in essence you would treat the right ischial tendonitis issue by using the myokinematic hierarchy of lumbo-pelvic-femoral control for the Left AIC patient that is outlined and covered in the Myokinematic Restoration class. Remember under every PEC pattern there is a Left AIC pattern, so even if your patient had right ischial tendonitis and had limited SLR on adduction levels bilaterally, I would start with the above recommendations.
The left ischial tendonitis patient will need more concomitant cooperation from the right glute max and left medial adductor and left quadricep during left heel strike and push off, to reduce left hamstring strain.
