Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a rehabilitation technique that focuses on developmental kinesiology principles to address and rehabilitate movement dysfunction. Developed by the Prague School of Rehabilitation and Manual Medicine, DNS is based on the idea that optimal movement patterns are established during the early stages of life as a part of natural human development.

DNS takes us back to our first year of life, using developmental positions to help train and re-establish proper stabilization around the body. Key concepts of DNS involve training proper breathing mechanics, core stabilization, and muscle synergy around the body to restore proper function. The goal is to activate and enhance the function of deep stabilizing muscles, promoting optimal joint alignment and movement.

Treatment in DNS often involves exercises and therapeutic activities aimed at re-educating the neuromuscular system to adopt more efficient and natural movement patterns. DNS interventions can be applied to a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, joint instability, and sports-related injuries.
