This week’s featured article found in the PRI Resource Center is “Occlusion, orthodontics and posture: are there evidences? The example of scoliosis.” If you integrate with a dentist or orthodontist, or would like to learn more about the relationship between posture and occlusion, be sure to check out this article. In addition to providing correlations between indiopathic scolios and dento-skeletal characteristics, this article is a great systematic review referencing nearly 100 articles related to this subject!

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!

This week’s featured read “Chest Mobilization Techniques for Improving Ventilation and Gas Exchange in Chronic Lung Disease” is a chapter from a book that Ron brought to me a couple weeks ago to add to the PRI Resource Center. This chapter, written by Donrawee Leelarungrayub from Thailand provides a great overview of the biomechanical considerations of the ribcage and thoracic spine. In addition, the author cited a 2008 case study published by PRC therapist Holly Spence in his discussion of the effectiveness of chest wall mobilization programs.

In addition to being filed in the PRI Resource Center, we have also added it to the reference material for the Postural Respiration course!

While they wait for the Asics Foundation to be released again in January 2014, the Hruska Clinic has updated their shoe list!

Since summer has finally arrived (according to the weather in Nebraska at least!), it’s time to start a new weekly reading series where I will be featuring a blog story each week to highlight an article or book from the PRI Resource Center! This week’s article, An Integrated Approach for Treating the OB Patient: Treating the Five Diaphragms of the Body, Part 1 is a hidden gem that I found when tagging articles with key words.

The article, written by Ken Johnson, DO in 1991 discusses the anatomical relationships of what he considers the “five diaphragms of the body”. This includes the arches of the feet, pelvis diaphragm, respiratory diaphragm, Sibson’s fascia covering the thoracic inlet, and the tentorium cerebelli. Needless to say, this article is a great reference for several PRI courses, including Pelvis Restoration and Postural Respiration.

Please feel free to share your comments on this article! If you have any hidden gem or new articles that you have come across lately, please email me and let me know!

As I browsed Facebook last night, I came across a couple PRC colleagues (thanks Torin Berge and Emily Soiney) who had shared this NY Times article “Growing Left, Growing Right” with their friends. The title was enough to catch my attention, but then I read this quote “Visible signs of left-right asymmetry in the human body are apparent around six weeks (embryonic).” I instantly shared it with my friends, but couldn’t wait to share it with Ron this morning. “WOW!” were the words from his mouth.

Check out this article if you haven’t seen it already!
