RPR® Lateral Sling Reset

In our last post we took a closer look at the RPR® Lateral Sling Test, and how a bad lateral sling may present in an athlete or client. Now, we’re going to breakdown the RPR® Lateral Sling Reset. This reset uses knowledge from both Levels 1 & 2.

We’ve gotten a lot of requests for this video, so first we need to clarify: the RPR® Lateral Sling Reset isn’t a single reset. Instead, we use a combination of multiple resets in order to correct a bad lateral sling. Watch the video below for a better explanation and demonstration with Cal.
