Is coming to be known throughout the world as the most innovative and effective strategy for both sports performance enhancement and neuro-orthopedic rehabilitation.

Is a neuro-developmental approach to athletic performance and neuro-orthopedics that retrains the brain and nervous system’s control of the musculoskeletal system.

Exercise techniques “re-boot” faulty motor patterns by accessing ideal pre-programed motor patterns to create natural fluid movement guided by the central nervous system.

DNS Exercise I Course Objectives:

• Understand the basic principles of developmental kinesiology with an emphasis on development during the first year of life.

• Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and pathology of the locomotor system in adulthood.

• Understand new terminology such as functional joint centration, punctum fixum, punctum mobile and the integrated stabilizing system of the spine.

• 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.
