SUMMARY:The Total Load Lens: Rethinking Childhood Chronic Illness and NeurodevelopmentBeth Lambert\, Founder and Executive Director of Documenting Hope
DESCRIPTION:Rates of chronic health\, behavioral\, and neurodevelopmental conditions among children have risen dramatically\, prompting an urgent need to look beyond individual diagnoses and consider the whole child. This presentation introduces the Total Load framework\, which examines how cumulative environmental\, nutritional\, physiological\, developmental\, and psychosocial stressors can interact with a child’s unique biology and resilience to influence health and development. \nParticipants will explore how reducing stressors\, increasing health-supporting inputs\, addressing underlying physiological imbalances\, and revisiting interrupted developmental processes may create opportunities for improved outcomes. Because these children often have needs that cross traditional professional boundaries\, the presentation emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration among medical\, dental\, airway\, nutrition\, developmental\, and other professionals working in genuine partnership with parents and caregivers\, who remain central to understanding the child’s history\, environment\, and day-to-day needs. The presentation also examines emerging evidence and documented cases of significant improvement and remission. \n At the conclusion of this presentation\, participants will be able to do the following: \n\nExplain the Total Load framework and describe how cumulative environmental\, lifestyle\, physiological\, and developmental stressors may interact with genetic and bio-individual factors to influence childhood health and neurodevelopment.\nIdentify key categories of stressors\, physiological imbalances\, and health-supporting factors that may affect a child’s resilience\, developmental trajectory\, and expression of chronic or neurodevelopmental symptoms.\nDescribe a whole-child\, parent-centered\, interdisciplinary approach to reducing Total Load\, strengthening resilience\, addressing underlying imbalances\, and supporting stalled or interrupted developmental processes.\n\nAuthor\, educator and former healthcare consultant\, Beth Lambert has monitored and documented the escalating rates of childhood chronic conditions for 17 years. Her first book\, A Compromised Generation\, provides a thorough analysis of the origins of this modern health crisis and documents how modifications to environmental and lifestyle factors can profoundly influence health outcomes\, including full disease reversal. Beth is also the co-author of Brain Under Attack: A Resource for Parents and Caregivers of Children with PANS\, PANDAS\, and Autoimmune Encephalitis \nBeth is the Founder and Executive Director of Documenting Hope\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on root cause healing solutions for children’s chronic health and developmental issues. Documenting Hope conducts independent research studies that examine the cumulative impact or “total load” of environmental stressors on children’s health and their mitigation through personalized and systems-based treatment approaches. Beth is the mother of three children and is passionate about raising awareness about the connection between daily choices\, human health\, and planetary health. \n  \nREGISTER/INFO

SUMMARY:Occlusal Cervical Restoration - An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Treatment of Patterned Occlusal Pathomechanics
DESCRIPTION:This advanced course is designed to assist the dentist\, or the healthcare professional\, who is interested in occlusal pathomechanic behavior that is related to common\, upright human unaligned cervical patterns. Specific cervical assessment tests\, equilibration recommendations\, and PRI evidence-based\, proven upright frontal plane activity\, incorporating podal integration\, will be offered for the general dentist and clinical movement specialist. Optimizing desirable\, bilateral re-occlusal sense for centric upright pharyngeal airway position and occipital balance\, in the dental office will be addressed. Specific designed PRI occlusal orthotics will enable the dentist to eventually recalibrate and equilibrate occlusal interference associated with a centric oriented neck. Upright alternating shifting of body mass influenced by mandibular lateral translation\, through specific posterior lateral occlusal sensory awareness\, will remind the course attendee that oscillatory alternating lateral excursion of the mandible\, is the most important oral and orthopedic postural activity generated by occlusal influence on the sphenoid and head. \nPrior attendance of Cervical Revolution is required. *Dentists may attend without prior attendance of Cervical Revolution.\n**If you are a PT\, Chiropractor or other movement specialist attending this course WITH a dentist\, you are eligible for an interdisciplinary team discount. Use the code PTDENTIST at checkout to receive 20% off. Please add the name of the dentist/PT team in the notes section at checkout as well. If you use this code and you are not attending with a dentist (or dentist attending with a PT for example)\, you will be charged full price. \nEducational Level: Advanced \nInstructional Methods: Lecture\, demonstration\, clinical application\, case discussion\, and Q&A \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nRecognize patterned occlusal pathomechanics and their possible underlying biomechanical contribution.\nOutline the influences on occlusal interferences and orientation of teeth from temporal bone orientation and temporal muscle activity.\nCorrelate outcomes of straight leg raise\, standing lateral shift and overhead reach with occlusal influences prior to and following fabrication and equilibration of mandibular occipital integrated occlusal orthotics.\nOutline how to optimize oral and body posture through collaborative integration between the dentist and the functional movement specialist using non-manual PRI techniques and oral appliance equilibration.\n\nRon Hruska – Faculty \nREGISTER/INFO

SUMMARY:SLEEP\, SPIRITUALITY & CONSCIOUSNESS: Exploring Dimensions Beyond Body and MindNancy H. Rothstein\, MBA The Sleep Ambassador®
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explore the intersection of sleep\, spirituality\, and consciousness through both practical and reflective perspectives and will explore the cultural and religious practices that go back centuries and millennium connecting sleep and the “night journey of the soul.” Where does this emanate from? What is the intention of these rituals and practices? How does it impact our sleep and our waking hours? The challenges surrounding sleep in modern life are discussed including technology habits\, stress\, and disrupted routines\, and how they impact the quality of our sleep and explore whether we are compromising another of sleep’s restorative purposes. Simple strategies and behavioral shifts that support more natural and restorative sleep\, and in turn\, enable our walking hours to be all the more vibrant and enhance our overall wellbeing are examined. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \no Understand the impact poor sleep can have on our wellbeing for body\, mind\, and spirit \no Spark interest in going beyond the physiological aspects of sleep to more seemingly esoteric realms\, albeit not new in many cultures \no Learn new techniques to enhance falling and staying asleep for more restorative rest towards the goal of sustainably healthy sleep \nAs The Sleep Ambassador®\, Nancy Rothstein is a globally recognized sleep expert\, inspiring a new respect for sleep and its impact on all aspects of work\, life\, and well-being. Through consulting\, public speaking\, media engagements\, writing\, and other venues\, she presents strategic solutions selected to empower people to make lasting shifts to optimize their sleep sustainably. \nWith an MBA and decades of experience in the corporate and financial sectors\, Nancy recognizes that insufficient sleep is a risk management issue requiring the attention of corporate management to optimize their workforce and human capital. From serving as LinkedIn’s in-house sleep expert to consulting to Hyatt\, Deloitte\, and other companies\, Nancy is a leader in bringing customized programming and research-based solutions to for all levels of a corporation or organization’s workforce\, as well as to the public at large. \nHer virtual sleep improvement program\, Sleep Well/Live Well\, has been taken by 1000s of employees and is available to the public as well as to enterprises as an affiliate partner. As a LinkedIn Learning instructor\, Nancy’s course\, Sleep Is Your Superpower\, has engaged over 485\,000. \nInspired by personal experience\, Nancy authored My Daddy Snores\, a children’s book published by Scholastic Inc.\, selling over 550\,000 copies to date. Her newest book is My Sleep Recipe\, completed for a Harvard/Boston Children’s Hospital research grant and soon to be available to the public in English and Spanish. Other books are in development. \n1 CE credit available to AAPMD members \nREGISTER/INFO

SUMMARY:Visual Vestibular Refinement - An Interdisciplinary Approach in the Intervention of Patterned Visual Orientation and Vertical Perception - LIVE STREAM
DESCRIPTION:This course will outline the role the human eyes play in centering the head and body\, in standing\, based on the guidance\, or misguidance\, of somatic information provided to the brain. The attendee will be provided information on the most common visual vertical related implications related to visual heterophorias\, strabismus\, and astigmatism inconsistencies\, in addition to higher degrees of amblyopia. Understanding both physical and somatic symptomology related to this visual vestibular automaticity\, will help the practitioner refine and modify both optometric treatment and upright forward locomotion. Guidelines on how to work with an optometrist\, and recommendations on how to improve standing postural orientation to de-stress binocular rivalry\, will be offered for these binocular conditions listed above. Considerations for the patient who demonstrates persistent unilateral biased functional dominance in stages of forward locomotor movement and subjective visual vertical testing\, will also be discussed.\n\n\n\n\n\nPrior attendance of Cervical Revolution is required. *Optometrists may attend without prior attendance of Cervical Revolution. \nEducational Level: Advanced \nInstructional Methods: Lecture\, demonstration\, clinical application\, case discussion\, and Q&A \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nOutline the most common visual dysfunctions influencing upright postural deviation\, neurologic vertical adaptation of perceived orientation and horizontal ankle compensation.\nDescribe the orientation of patterned skeletomotor and oculomotor function on somatic symptomology.\nOutline how to resolve or reduce dynamic disorientation through upright recognition of unilateral static visual spatial flow and stable vestibular freedom\, with optometric guidance.\nProvide guidelines on integrating optometric assistance or optometric training programs\, through standing subjective refraction\, into a forward locomotor movement program\, with the most beneficial eye prescription with the least refractive error.\n\nLive Stream courses will take place from 8am-5pm CT each day\, and certificates of completion/CE credit will be awarded the following week after completion of the course evaluation survey and short post-test. For more information on whether your state/organization is approved for CE approval\, please click on the “CE Approval” tab. Live Stream courses will be engaging\, interactive and include demonstration of objective testing and/or non-manual techniques\, in addition to course attendees being able to ask questions throughout the course. All that’s needed on your end is reliable internet access\, a webcam\, microphone and speaker (or a smart phone can be used if you do not have a computer or laptop with this capability) to utilize ZOOM for the live stream course. The ZOOM links for the live stream course will be included in the confirmation email. The course manual will be shipped directly to you 1-2 weeks before the course. *International registrants are discounted $30 since we do not ship manuals internationally\, however you will be able to print the digital manual if you so choose. A digital version of the course manual will be added to your PRI account the week of the course. In addition\, participants will receive access to the recording of the live stream course for 14 days to review the material\, and re-watch any material that may have been missed due to connection issues. Those who attend in-person during a live streamed course will also receive access to the recording for 14 days. Extensions beyond this 14 day review are not available. ***Please note: In order to receive access to the recording for review\, you must participate in person on the Live Stream course with your camera on for at least half of the course (7.5 hours). If you sign up for the course and do not participate in at least 7.5 hours of the live stream\, you will not receive the recording and you will not be refunded. Also\, once course manuals have been shipped (or the digital version has been added to your account)\, there will be no refunds for cancellations.*** \nTorin Berge – Faculty \nREGISTER/INFO
