DNS Exercise 1
Master the fundamental principles of Developmental Kinesiology and DNS assessment techniques
Course Overview
DNS Exercise 1 is the foundational course in the Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation series, designed to introduce healthcare professionals to the core principles of developmental kinesiology.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how early human development influences adult movement patterns and how to assess and correct dysfunctional movement through DNS methodology.
Participants will learn essential DNS assessment techniques and corrective exercises based on developmental positions, equipping them with practical skills for clinical application.
Key Highlights
- Foundation course in DNS methodology
- Hands-on assessment and treatment techniques
- Evidence-based developmental approach
- CPD accredited

- 1
Understanding Developmental Kinesiology
Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of Developmental Kinesiology and their application to adult movement patterns.
- 2
Developmental Influence on Adult Function
Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the locomotor system in adulthood.
- 3
Human Movement Fundamentals
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.
