On October 15^th  I gave a course in Fort Collins, CO at Rebound Sports and Physical Therapy. I especially enjoyed this particular course because of the questions regarding compensation, thanks Tyler Moos; because of the dentists in the room who added so much to the overview of occlusal relationships, thanks Dr. Kim Okamura and Dr. Kingdon Brady; because of the questions regarding treatment decision making and treatment intervention with patients who are in a cervical muscle pattern that relates to cranial position and mal-position, thanks Rob Lynde and Tim Richardt; and because of the host site hospitality, thanks Jon Hartwick and Craig Depperschmidt.

 I enjoy discussing how occlusion, spinal orientation and cranial osseous position can influence how the neck moves, or does not move. Spinal, cranial bone, tooth to tooth, and atlas on occiput as well as occiput on atlas coupling, can all be disconnected, neurologically and mechanically, if our cranial decompression/compression, inhalation/exhalation, or flexion/extension does not remain rhythmical.

The rhythmic flow of information, as complex as it can become, was enforced by the genuine interest of the entire class. This was a fun class to teach because this similar theme of rhythmicity was represented by both the class and the class material.

PRI Integration for the Home. Seattle Washington. Jill Moynahan and the team at Providence Homecare in Renton Washington were fantastic hosts for a great weekend with a super group of people in a very beautiful place. Thank you for your kind hospitality and the opportunity to enjoy such a fun weekend together. The class enjoyed going over the new and improved PRI Integration for the Home material, including the new ADL exercises and the standing resisted squat progressions. A couple of attendees who had taken the course prior to the new updates said it was totally worth attending again, simply because they were able to learn about and practice these new techniques. And if you haven't had the opportunity, Seattle Washington is a beautiful and super fun place to visit. My wife Karen was able to make the trip with me and we enjoyed going to great places like the Seattle Art Museum, the Pike Street Market, the Space Needle, Lake Washington and the Columbia Tower. The view of Puget Sound and the City of Seattle from the rotating restaurant at the top of the Space Needle really gave us an appreciation of the majestic beauty the great Northwest has to offer. Thank you Seattle for your ongoing interest in PRI and our opportunity to visit your beautiful city.

I spent a great weekend at the Fortius Sport and Health complex in beautiful Vancouver British Columbia. What an awesome host site. And what a super group of professionals attending, most of whom were attending their first ever live PRI course. Ryan, you were a great host and all the attendees were great, especially considering that we were holding the course on the weekend of Thanksgiving in Canada (and the Toronto Blue Jays were back in the playoffs!). Thanks for spending time with us and missing or rescheduling your Thanksgiving turkey dinners. As for the majestic beauty of Vancouver, this is God's Country. Wow! Reminded me of my youth growing up near beautiful Glacier National Park in NW Montana. And when I went on a walk around the lake across from the complex and saw a "Caution, Bears in the Area" sign, I felt right at home. Fortunately, I didn't run into any bears or other wild animals.

But it was beautiful. As for the Myokinematic Restoration course, this weekend was a nostalgic experience for me. One, because my PRI journey started with this course and it has been my pleasure to have taught it so many times over the years to so many new and energetic attendees, both live and through the home study. Two, because I realized I will not be teaching this course as much in the future because of my expanding affiliate course responsibilities and because we have a growing number of new faculty members who will have the responsibility of teaching our primary courses. I'm excited for our institute's growth and development, but I must say, a reflective weekend like this in such a beautiful place really made me miss those early years of PRI and all those great experiences. A big "thank you" to anyone who has ever shared a Myokin moment with me over the years. You are what makes it all worth it!

Summit Orthopedics has a palatial sports complex. They hosted Impingement and Instability and we dove into an explanation of the reasons why humans choose to impinge and hurt. Yes...choose! Neurological reference centers were the main topic of conversation and how understanding these "RC's" can help a practitioner eliminate symptoms in minutes. Additionally we learned about precisely why tennis elbow is so problematic and how to manage it with rotator cuff management. Don't miss this incredible class when you begin the journey into the second tier of PRI courses.
