If you have not been to a Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization course you may have a skewed perspective about what it is from social media. Yes, we do crawl around on the floor like babies, but it involves much more than just acting like babies. Utilizing the developmental positions and sequences allows us to have a blueprint for how stabilization should occur. Whether we are talking about proper shoulder positioning for a pitcher or the most efficient way of deadlifting, we can make decisions on proper stereotype by seeing how babies progress through their developmental milestones. Then, we can use the positions we were in during the first year of life to train the subcortical stabilization patterns to help achieve those optimal positions in sport and exercise.

The Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Exercise courses are specifically aimed at showing the developmental sequence and how we can influence the deep stabilizers in each of these positions. These classes are perfect for everyone from trainers to seasoned clinicians. The more time we can spend in these positions feeling proper stabilization, the easier it is to teach our patients/clients to use the positions as treatment or as movement prep.

As you transition through the DNS Exercise courses, you will see how we can utilize not only the developmental positions but also the transitions between these positions.

PART I - 2-DAY COURSE

Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of developmental kinesiology.
Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the locomotor system in adulthood.
Discuss and demonstrate the basis of human movement: support, stepping forward, the biomechanics of motor function, the verticalization process & functional joint centration in postural development.
Evaluate and correct poor respiratory patterns.
Assess the integrated stabilizing system of the spine both visually and utilizing dynamic functional tests.
Integrate corrective exercises based on the DNS functional tests and developmental positions in supine, prone, low kneeling, oblique sit, and quadruped global movements.
Demonstrate how DNS corrective exercises can be integrated with other exercise strategies.
