What is this Human Evolution course all about? Well, it’s not just about treating pediatrics, but it is about treating the human in front of you with consideration of where that human has been and the experiences they have had. This secondary level course focuses on “developmentally – informed therapy” aimed at assiting with integration of sensory processing that may have been missed to optimize your treatment outcomes in patients of all ages.
In this course we tackle 3 specific sections:
1. The PRI Developmental Sensory Motor Sequence (PRDSMS) that we hope every human has an opportunity to experience and how a patient might present over time if they don’t.
2. The PRI research-based Principles that support the 10 components in the PRDSMS and our focus on the development of sensory processing.
And 3. The 7 distinct but integrated PRI Developmental Processes that we cross-reference with the sensory motor manifestations/ movement and postural patterns we see in all patients.
Neurologically wired patterns start early, thanks to Functional Cortical Dominance, experience, patterned sense and behavior, which is good, until it’s not. We all adapt to the multitude of challenges we face during growth and development, be they physical, environmental, and psychological. Humans positionally accommodate to these patterns as they are able, until those accomodations no longer suffice for a grounded sense of safety, and then they turn into more permanent compensations, which can cause biomechanical and neurologically patterned pain and dysfunction over time. Understanding this process, what causes it, how to interrupt it at any age, and how significant the compensations can be will help you achieve neutrality and re-pattern your patients for optimal outcomes.
Thirty-four folks from 15 US States and 6 countries via live stream, joined 5 folks in person for rich discussions in this recent offering of the Human evolution course and here’s what they had to say:
“Many of my patients have chronic pain. Usually throughout the course of treatment, they will share various childhood experiences with me. It’s quite fascinating that some of the PRI positions will trigger these memories that they are compelled to share. I will now be able to make better connections between past experiences and where they are now and use this information to select PRI techniques.”
“I love having exercises that now have a play aspect with them. Getting young ones to do PRI exercises and having fun”
“I will definitely look at my adult clients through a different lens. I loved the daily activities that people could do to improve their senatorial awareness.”
“I love Lisa’s enthusiasm about this course. You can tell that she really cares about her clients and her work and that was evident in her presentations and her videos.”
“I plan to integrate these concepts and techniques into my practice with both adults and children.”
“It was such an insightful course. I will be taking it again and recommending it.”
