What is DNS anyways?

2/25/2018

 
DNS stands for Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization. DNS was developed by Professor Pavel Kolar of the Prague School of Rehabilitation at Charles University Motol Hospital in the Czech Republic. DNS is a system based on developmental kinesiology and human ontogenesis. Every human with a normally developing central nervous system activates the same sequence of movement, locomotor, patterns. These patterns are ideal with perfect joint centration (maximum bearing surface congruency) and co-activation of the agonist/antagonist musculature controlling the joint. These patterns are unlearned and are genetically programmed or pre-determined. DNS is concerned with activating these patterns to restore ideal biomechanics and human locomotion. A foundational concept in DNS is activation of the Intrinsic Spinal Stabilization System (ISSS) through the mechanism of Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP). When we have proper activation and descent of the diaphragm, concentric activity, we compress our viscera creating increased IAP pushing back against the trunk wall in all directions. Due to the increased IAP we have reactive eccentric activity of all of the components of the trunk and pelvic floor. This fixes/stabilizes the ISSS and makes the trunk an anchor for distal and proximal muscle pull from the extremities. This mechanism is pre-requisite for all other purposeful extremity movement to stabilize the trunk and prevent aberrant movement in the spine. This mechanism represents a global pattern of control that when working properly ensures the most efficient strategy for human locomotion
