Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a
rehabilitation approach rooted in developmental kinesiology, focusing on the precise co-activation of intrinsic spinal muscles to form an integrated spinal stabilization system. This method emphasizes the importance of central nervous system control in maintaining proper posture and movement patterns, aiming to
restore natural motor functions by retraining the body's neuromuscular system.
Why is DNS different?
DNS is not a technique, but rather a novel way of understanding how we move and how things go wrong (i.e., injury). Simply put, a DNS practitioner uses the knowledge of how our posture and movement develops, as a model that can be applied to finding out the cause and solution to movement/posture related problems later in life.
How DNS Therapy Works
- Enhances core stability and postural control
- Improves neuromuscular coordination and motor control
- Addresses movement dysfunctions linked to pain and injury
- Helps restore optimal breathing patterns
