OVERVIEW

Cranial Resolution 2026 is organized by Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and will be held from Mar 20 - 21, 2026 at Postural Restoration Institute (PRI), Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America.

Description:
This advanced course focuses on how our cranial structures, the cerebral, midbrain and cerebellar regions, that are responsible for underlying ANS tension and CNS tone, can be self-regulated through oscillatory integration of rhythmic function and alternating cycles of sense.  Discussion and demonstration on how postural adaptation to compensatory patterning can be resolved through lateralization of neural rhythms. Anatomical relationships between autonomic and central nervous system interplay will be clinically outlined and supportive research on how to resolve cranial generated physiological conflict and cortical sensory-motor function will strengthen the understanding principles behind thoracic cranial technique recommendations. This course outlines how pressure regulation by the palatopharyngeus muscle, the pterygopalatine fossa and the palatine aponeurosis requires temporal and occlusal oscillation; in order to prevent over lateralized use of these areas and thus dysafferentation and over-convergence of occlusion, hearing, sight, and sound production.

Objectives:

  • Provide an overview on how the human cortical lateralization, hemispheric specialization and asymmetrical anatomical design influences autonomic nervous system variability and breathing patterns.
  • Outline physiologic relationships of cranial sacral compensatory activity to hemi-bronchi function and corresponding postural asymmetry.
  • Outline how to resolve cranial generated physiological conflict with postural imbalanced centralized sense through sacral cranial repositioning.
  • Optimize postural related functional autonomic physiologic behavior and cranial oscillatory balance through thoracic cranial respiratory rhythm, integrating occlusal, visual and auditory processing when and if necessary.

Occupational Therapists and OT Assistants:
PRI is no longer recognized as an Approved Provider through the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). Many states do not require any sort of pre-approval process. And of the ones that do, most state licensure boards allow self-submission of CE programs. Please check with your state licensure board to determine if you will be able to submit PRI courses for CE hours.

Chiropractors:
In the states where PRI is sponsoring courses and where approval through state licensing agencies is required, PRI will look into applying for CEUs for Chiropractors (upon request). Requests must be made at least 90 days prior to the course date.

Approved by the Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners for 15 regular units of instruction for 2025 course dates.
Approved by the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions. Approval valid February 18, 2022 – February 17, 2025; renewal approved and valid February 18, 2025-February 17-2028.
