Lesson Plan

The ability to modify exercises for your patients and clients is a staple of daily practice. The role of postural stabilization, understanding developmental kinesiology and addressing neuromuscular function are also critical aspects to consider when making those modifications. We will look at options for common exercises and assess some of the biomechanical differences. While at the same time looking at these options through the lens of DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization). Objectives:

  • Discuss the functional regional interdependence of myofascia-skeletal and the nervous system.
  • Describe ideal respiration  & postural stabilization from a developmental perspective.
  • Describe the dual functional role of the diaphragm for respiration & stabilization
  • Discuss the importance of sagittal stabilization and joint centration as a basis for complex movements.
  • Discuss the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and its application to training & performance.
