Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Clinical Course C

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Clinical Course C is organized by Movement Links and will be held from Jan 16 - 18, 2027 at Evergreen Physical Therapy Specialists, Pasadena, California, United States of America.

Description:
The nervous system establishes programs that control human locomotion, that includes posture and movement. This critical “motor control” is largely established during the first years of life. Based upon the principles of neurodevelopmental kinesiology, i.e. the neurophysiologic aspects of the maturing movement system on which the Prague School was established, the scope of clinical rehabilitation options for many of our neurologic and musculoskeletal pain patients has been expanded. The DNS approach involves every component of the movement system (i.e. muscles, joints, nerves and, & soft tissue) by stimulating movement control centers in the brain through activation of ideal inborn movement stereotypes. This, in turn, helps restore the structural and postural alignment of the body’s neuro-musculo-skeletal system by evoking the global motor patterns. Global motor patterns form the foundation of human movement and represent genetically predetermined elements for up righting and equilibrium. These patterns are essential for the control of posture and dynamic stability of the spine through the lifespan of the individual.

Course Objectives:

• Demonstrate more in-depth understanding of developmental kinesiology and its relationship to pathology of the movement system: Describe the basis for primitive reflexes and psutral reactions and their role in development kinesiology.
• Describe the kinesiology of muscle chains involved in active exercises based on developmental positions.
• Demonstrate advanced assessment of the instrinsic spinal stabilizing system with clinical reasoning.
• Describe cortical function & its role in movement & posture.
• Demonstrate clinical reasoning & application of DNS principles in managing complex musculoskeletal pain dysfunctions.
