Ron and I spent 2 days last week working on the new CD’s that we hope to have completed by the end of the year. Several people have inquired about the new CD’s. Let me tell you what I know up until this point…
The CD’s will be different than what we currently have on our shelves. There will be 3 new CD’s that compliment our 3 pre-requisite courses: Myokinematic Restoration, Pelvis Restoration and Postural Respiration. On these 3 CD’s you will find a Re-positioning program, Desirable muscle programs, Inhibition as related to the course and Integration. All of our activity will now be found on one of these 3 CD’s. When taking our Secondary courses (Impingement and Instability, Cervical-Cranio-Mandibular Restoration, Advanced Integration), you will have already received the activity that corresponds to these courses through the pre-requisite courses. In addition to the layout of the CD’s being different, we have also added roughly 200 new techniques.

Again, our hope is to have these completed by the end of the year. We have spent HOURS working on the placement, progression, and wording on each and every technique but we still have a lot of work ahead of us.

Lori Thomsen’s Recommendations on Shoes

Lori Thomsen, MPT, PRC recently went out and looked at the newest shoes on the market. Using her PRI perspective, she put together a list of her top recommendations. You can look at her list and watch a video about her selections HERE!

*Please note that this list is only a suggestion and may not be the case for everyone. If you question a certain shoe, we suggest that you test your patient’s neutrality with and without the shoe on to make a proper assessment.

New CD's

I am excited to finally discuss the latest project that Ron Hruska and I have been working on. We are creating new exercise CD’s that will compliment our coursework. Because this is such a lengthy process, I have been keeping it quiet until I could see an end in sight. The expected completion will be the end of summer. The new CD’s will be a little different than what we have created in the past. We have taken the time to break up each CD to reflect each specific course. In addition to breaking up all of the activities we currently have to compliment each course, we are adding a ton of new ones. Stay tuned for the completed project!

2011 Shoe List

Greetings PRI therapists! Many of you have e-mailed or called me waiting for our recommended shoe list for 2011. HERE IT IS!. All of us at the Hruska Clinic spent well over two hours evaluating and trying on shoes for this 2011 list. Please know that there may be shoes that are not included on this list that we did not examine. I would encourage you to examine shoes that you are questioning for a good heel counter, minimal to no lateral heel give, ability for your patients to find and feel their arches and to push off their big toe when walking. Most importantly, make sure your patients can maintain neutrality with PRI tests with their shoes. What works for one patient can be different for another. It’s difficult to evaluate all the shoes on the market.

You will see a “S-M-L” after each shoe and this is referring to the build of the individual that the shoe works for (ie. small, medium, large). In addition, I have identified if the shoe is motion control, stability or neutral for your added information.

I can’t identify another shoe as awesome as the 2009 Asics Foundation, but I will continue on my quest for shoe greatness. Shoes change every 12 to 18 months and the 2010 model of the Foundation is good but it’s not “greatness” like the predecessor. Also, don’t grab your AED when you see a Mizuno on the list. Jason, Dave, Jen and I all tried it on and validated it’s presence on the list. Shocking, but they did change the design so make sure it’s the WaveRider 14.

I would encourage you to go to your local running store and assess these shoes for yourself so you can make appropriate recommendations for your patients.

We hope this helps you all out!

Cheers,
Lori Thomsen
