Pelvis Restoration is all about integration. Integration of pelvic inlets and outlets, a respiratory diaphragm with the pelvic diaphragm, and pressure control and position through two sides of a body. Integration was a fitting theme for the past weekend’s course in San Antonio at the University of the Incarnate Word.

We had five new attendees at their first PRI course, most of whom were attending as a result of integrating with other course attendees. We had seasoned PRI practitioners and those with the other primary courses under their belt who were integrating their understanding and appreciation for the course that connects Myokinematics and Postural Respiration.

One of the best groups I have had the pleasure of teaching in regard to their diligent use of lab time and questions around application of both tests and techniques. We were all fortunate to have the opportunity to view human asymmetry in situ in the adjacent cadaver lab.

A big thank you to our hosts, Reid Fisher, ATC, Joanna Soles, ATC, LAT, and Joseph Hernandez, ATC. A great facility with an ideal learning environment. My first time in Texas and it did not disappoint!

It has been 7 years since I was in Seattle at Alpine Physical Therapy and this location was the first time I “soloed” teaching Cervical Revolution in 2019. The “Three Amigos”, Jeremiah, Eli, and Chris always a most nurturing atmosphere for faculty members and students that provides a perfect learning environment for all. This weekend was no exception and attendees from first timers to veteran PRC’s were all in attendance for Cervical Revolution including PT’s, a DC, a DMD, strength and conditioning specialists and a soft tissue therapist. This group of students truly fit the term “non-denominational interdisciplinarians” who integrate PRI into their unique and varied professional practices.

One of the main focuses during this course was to establish a solid foundation of the basics of atlanto-occipital osteokinematics as it relates to not only the function of the cervical spine but how the cervical spine at A/O determines movement and position of a cranium and jaw. Since this course is also known as a right stance course, the “conjugate” integration with sacrum, sternum, and sphenoid is described. As a foundation we start with the Right TMCC pattern resulting in Right A/O flexion, Right cranial extension, Right sphenoid external rotation, Right temporal bone internal rotation, and Right mandibular protrusion to the left that all connect the cervical spine to the Left Side Bending Cranial osteopathic position. Then testing the cervical spine using five tests to determine neutrality, or not, was demonstrated in lab with non-manual techniques to not only establish neutrality but to ensure alternation was provided.

Day two of Cervical Revolution addresses Right Cranial Torsion which is a pathologic presentation that reflects the inability to alternate from side to side and rotate a neck. When this occurs in a patient, integration with a dentist is most likely needed. Dr. Matt Gray, DMD, was in attendance for his first PRI course and was so engaged and helpful with his insights on day two regarding occlusion and the mandible. His participation and questions helped teach the course in a really special way as faculty member Kasey Ratliff, DPT described examination of the mandible and the use of mandibular appliances clearly and concisely. Kasey is training to be a Cervical Revolution instructor and this was the first time she “dove in” to teach part of the course. Kasey not only described the jaw examination and appliances, she spoke on day one regarding Cervical Cranial Evolutionary Concepts, Symmetrical Sense, and Introductory Remarks on the Cervical Cranial Complex. She will be an excellent Cervical Revolution instructor in the future.

Thank you all for attending including Aryn from Sitka, AK, Jena from Brooklyn, Annelise, Michael, Malcolm, and Sarah from Anacortes, Jason from CA, Holly and Tatham came down from Canada. Thank all of you for your questions all weekend long including Dylan, Betsy, Wren whom I haven’t seen in years, Nathan, Mark, Paige, Heather with respiration, Pina, Alex and Alicia. My friend Michael Li, DC was up in the front row and I hadn’t see him in 15 years since we met at an SFMA course in San Diego! And of course, thank you to Jeremiah, Eli, and Chris “Murph” for hosting us again in the Pacific Northwest. When you host courses at your place it is always energetic and hardly “Sleepless in Seattle”!

It was such a gift being in Boston this past weekend to discuss the gift of our rib cage and patterns of air flow.

I was fortunate to have the gift of very quality time with PRI legend Karen Soiles Tayler and experience her gift of knowledge, PT and PRI experience, her energy for a more positive, healthy future, as well as her overall infectious, vibrant aura. Karen was a gift to us all for being in the class and sharing her years of experience with everyone there. She will be a gift to the local Bostonian clinician community to mentor all of us on our PRI journey. To those near her – I do hope you take her up on her offer to mentor and learn from this amazing individual.

Everyone was very present for the two days as we unwrapped various patterns of airflow and ways to manage pressure through our amazing rib cage. We learned about various ways people may prevent death by utilizing accessory muscles of inspiration to help pull air in. While using scalenes and pec minors for inspiration may keep us alive, we may also be left with some mementos of dysfunction and discomfort.

The class attendees were simply remarkable this past weekend and I truly had an amazing experience. What a treat to be able to hang out with such special people working hard to advance their careers and enhance their interventions with their patients and clients.

You all were such a gift to me to get to know and spend time with. I really hope to cross paths with you all in the future!

With advancements unfolding within the athletic training, sports performance and fitness industries and the growth of PRI across more disciplines, as well as internationally, we are excited to announce that we are expanding the Postural Restoration Trained™ (PRT) Credentialing Program to now include Personal Trainers, Pilates Instructors, Registered Yoga Teachers and more. To view a complete list of organizations and certifications/credentials that are now accepted for PRT Credentialing, along with the updated Application, CLICK HERE! All PRT applicants must also provide verification of completed Bachelor’s degree or higher degree.

When PRT Credentialing was originally established in 2011, it was a credentialing process that was created for Athletic Trainers and Certified Strength & Conditioning Coaches, bringing together collaboration within sports rehabilitation and performance. The Athletic Training profession has evolved over the past 15 years, and a Master’s Degree became the required entry-level credential for new Athletic Trainers in the United States in 2022. As a result of these changes, and with the expansion of the PRT Credentialing Program to include additional fitness-related certifications, Athletic Trainers and Athletic Therapists, as allied health professionals, are now eligible to apply for the Postural Restoration Certified™ (PRC) Credentialing Program, alongside PT’s, PTA’s, OT’s, OTA’s and Chiropractors. Athletic Trainers who completed PRT Credentialing in the past will have the option to be recognized as a PRC Credentialed Provider, after completing the Advanced Integration course (if that course has not already been completed).

We are excited about the opportunity to formally recognize more individuals, who share the passion and expertise for applying PRI knowledge and principles into their professional setting. To learn more about the application and testing process for PRT and PRC Credentialing, CLICK HERE!

Ger started on your PRI Credentialing journey today. PRC Applications are due September 15th, and PRT Applications are due October 15th each year!

The weekend in sunny San Diego was one for the books teaching one of the gateway courses for new attendees, Myokinematic Restoration. Stretch Affect, a local PT clinic and gym were our gracious hosts. The facility was top notch, my favorite part was being able to do the lab portion of the course outside on the turf area. We had two full days on pelvises and patterns, specifically the left AIC pattern and its effect on the hip (acetabulum) position, femur and lumbar/sacrum.

We had a variety of seasoned professionals including physical therapists, athletic trainers, massage therapists, and strength/conditioning coaches. I’m not sure if it was the incredible weather and being outside throughout the course but the class was engaged the entirety of the course. The techniques humbled many as they typically do but reports during lab consisted of “I feel more grounded”, “I feel lighter”, “I sense my left leg now”, and “my L SI pain is gone!”. The ability to neurologically change the sense of the ground underneath the feet is just one example of the power of the PRI science. Thank you to Kevin Fay, PT, from Arizona for the lab assistance and to all the attendees for making my job enjoyable, Y’ALL were awesome!

Join Lori Thomsen and Dr. Heather Elton as they dive into practical ways to look at regulating your nervous system through PRI exercises and Functional Medicine.

There is a ton of information out there about diet (PROTEIN) and exercise in relation to perimenopause, but NO ONE is talking about the role of exercise and hormones in regulating the nervous system. As Lori likes to say you can’t optimize a dysregulated nervous system!

A clinical, patient friendly version of their recent talk at the PRI Summit will be available Live here in Lincoln at the Postural Restoration Institute as well as live streamed via ZOOM on Tuesday June 16th at 7pm central. If you want to attend in person or live, sign up for free at the link below!

Unraveling The Perimenopause Puzzle

The Forward Locomotion Movement course is one of my favorite courses to teach because it has significantly changed my PRI treatment approach. Specifically, how to integrate visual perceptual awareness of the ambient visual system with the rest of the body during upright movement. In my opinion, FLM, Voice Box, and Cranium are three PRI courses that work together to integrate the somatosensory system, sensorimotor system, and autonomic nervous system together for improved system-wide ability to alternate and manage gravity. And, for me, the reason is that those courses use PRI NMT that we already know, and applies the scientific model of neuro-sensory behavior modification to address musculoskeletal performance far beyond what traditional orthopedic-based constructs can provide.

One of the things that separates PRI from other educational institutions is how much research is found in every course manual. FLM provides as many (or more) reference articles and books to support the concepts and techniques as any other PRI course. We spend time going through much of the research as a means to explain to the well-seasoned PRI practitioner why and how the PRI NMT are going to be cued differently, using sensory and pressure references, to change how the body “chooses” to move upright against gravity.

We also spend time demonstrating, discussing, and performing many of the PRI NMT found in the FLM course while applying sensory and pressure references, so the attendee can sense, feel, and understand why and how to cue these techniques to achieve the shift in functional vestibular predominant behavior. FLM is a very forward movement-based course. And one of the things that research demonstrates is, based on how the brain functions, the body doesn’t actually need to be moving forward to improve how the body moves forward; horizontal and vertical displacement are paramount while “grounding” is not.

We discuss how to know when to choose different PRI NMT to achieve these outcomes. And that allows us and avenue to discuss how to use the Hruska ABD Lift test, Hruska ADD Lift test, and Hruska Alternating Reciprocal Rotation test to assist in that decision making process. Since this is a Tertiary PRI Course, we have an opportunity to discuss those tests much more in-depth, and at a level that we cannot discuss them in the Primary or Secondary courses.

My thanks to Divergence PT and Wellness for hosting us. And my thanks to Peter Jang, Eric Menchi, Kyle Coogan, Rachel Medvedev, and Daniel Gosselin for their participation and questions during the course.

If you have taken several PRI courses and are interested in how to apply PRI concepts during upright movement so your patients and clients can retain the gains they are achieving, then I would encourage you to take a Tertiary course like FLM. FLM is not like any other “gait” course you have heard of or possibly attended before because this is not a “gait” course. It is a course that unlocks the brain’s ability to self-actualize pressure and spatial management when upright against gravity during progressional displacement. Hope to see you at an FLM course in the future!

Colby Mamigonian is a strength coach, personal trainer and movement coach in New York City.

Colby was raised in Dover, NH, and now lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Colby’s goal is to be able to help his clients restore their capacity to move pain free, and then help make normal exercise a routine aspect of their life. As stated by Colby in his PRT application a few years ago,

“PRI plays the role as the foundation I stand on when assessing clients, as well as selecting exercises for them to perform. I rely heavily on PRI techniques in the beginning to restore neutrality, and educate the client on what it feels like to control their bodies in a pain-free way. More importantly, PRI has given me a biomechanical and neuro-sensory framework from which to coach any movement I choose for my clients, to ensure than any activity they perform is with sound mechanics. The ultimate goal is to empower my clients to live a life without anxiety about the strength of their body.”

In addition to PRI, Colby integrates information from affective neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and biotensegrity, among other areas of interest in order to help clients with conditions ranging from chronic pain, amputee, brain injury, and more. He is a lifelong student, who currently is learning more about Chinese medicine, in particular its movement medicine and martial art methodology. He is also passionate about music and plays guitar in his band.

Colby took his first PRI course in 2017 and he went on to complete PRT Credentialing in January 2023.

Colby is very active within the PRI community, even though you won’t see much from him in the digital world. He loves to read books and research articles, and is often sharing resources with Ron to explore as well. In addition to presenting today at our 3^rd Annual Interdisciplinary Studies Summit, he also presented at our 1^st Summit two years ago.

Colby has assisted on the PRT Application Review Committee and he also assisted with PRT testing in the summer of 2024. We know Colby will continue to be highly respected within the PRI community for many years to come.

We are so honored to present the PRI Directors Award to Colby Mamigonian. Congratulations Colby!

What a great two days teaching in my hometown in Lincoln. Thank you to everyone for a great two days of learning and asking questions.

I feel the course participants learned how frontal plane orientation of the pelvic inlet and outlet influences the ability of the pelvic diaphragm and respiratory diaphragm to coordinate ascension and descension, supporting effective internal pressure regulation throughout the thoracic and abdominal canisters.

The course emphasizes how asymmetrical pelvic positioning alters the relationship between the pelvis, rib cage, and diaphragm, affecting the body’s ability to alternate between compression and decompression. When frontal plane mechanics are optimized, the system can more effectively distribute pressure, improve respiratory efficiency, and support balanced neuromuscular activity

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Also, thank you to to our Italian Friends who made the trip all the way from Italy. We love how PRI Nation is growing internationally.

What a fantastic weekend in Anchorage. It was a proper Alaska “shoulder season” weekend and a perfect time to come together at The Physical Therapy place in order to connect and learn about patterned respiration.

Joy and Katie were amazing hosts and brought the five star Alaskan hospitality. It was truly an enjoyable few days for me exploring Anchorage and spending time with some amazing class participants.

Katie B. was an excellent example of superior T4, where her right scalenes successfully built a “bigger garage” in her right upper chest wall. This was revealed as we peeled back layers of compensation through a superior T4 manual technique.

Meg brought in her experience being a patient of PRIME in the past, and gave me some great advice for the Boston Marathon from when she ran it back in 1997! Kelsey T. and Kelsey G. helped remind us of the value of meeting, collaborating, and learning in person from each other, with Kelsey T. making the track from Reno. Bibo made the trek through “the tunnel” from Whittier to learn with us and was such a delight to have lunch with.

Beata provided fantastic recaps on day two demonstrating a full understanding of the material. Dave provided soothing narration of the manual and non-manual techniques, as well as a humbleness of admitting he may be over-patterned in his respiratory mechanics.
Juliet was a joy to have in class and provide insights on how to integrate PRI within her aquatic practice. So many applications through that medium! Oksana provided a fantastic example of PEC respiratory mechanics. Her pelvic floor patients, as well as her power lifting patients, will massively benefit from her newfound knowledge of patterned rib cage behavior.

Aryn and Sam were an absolute delight to have in class and are so fortunate to learn about patterned airflow so early on in their career. Joy and Katie are excited for them to take over The Physical Therapy Place someday 🙂

Thanks for the salmon, Sam!!

Thanks again to my two friends Joy and Katie for hosting, for the BEST PIZZA in the country, the shirt, and the lovely card. I can’t wait to go back to Alaska!
