DNS Skills Course on Scoliosis
basic level
This course is for practitioners who have taken DNS A course previously. It is designed to enhance your clinical skills and confidence in applying DNS principles and manual techniques in clients with scoliosis and postural asymmetry.
About course
DNS functional tests to assess individuals with scoliosis and body asymmetry.
Hands-on workshop to refine manual skills when working with patients with asymmetry.
Review of sagittal stabilization, kids/adults optimal posture, sports performance.
Disturbance of sagittal stabilization in childhood, adulthood & in athletes.
Corrective exercise for individuals with scoliosis based on DNS and reflex locomotion.
Clapp crawling –advanced variations.
Review of corrective exercises based on the DNS functional tests and developmental positions
(modifications of exercises in higher developmental positions – tripod, bear, squat, half kneeling,
step up).
Training of body awareness.
Clarification of how DNS corrective exercises can be integrated into other exercise strategies.
Video and patient demonstrations.
