- a manual therapeutic approach, based on developmental kinesiology and aimed at activating the “Integrated Stabilizing System” for the purpose of improving function
This “method” of manual therapy originates from the Rehabilitation Prague School and can be indirectly linked to one of the pioneers of manual therapy, Vladimir Janda. Some of you may view this approach to therapeutic care as one that lies toward the opposite end of the spectrum to Western Medicine, however, I urge you to attempt to understand its concept in its entirety prior to forming an opinion. Even more so, I strongly encourage you to research its theoretical and practical principles prior to implementing it in practice. (It’s actually more similar to what you’re used to than you think!) For many of you, incorporating DNS may not be plausible based on the time constraints of the “Western” mentality of the lay patient, however, for those of you working with athletes, you should most certainly have every opportunity to pull this method out of your toolbox.
I myself am still trying to fully understand this concept and am considering a trip to Naples in January for the upcoming
Musculoskeletal Pain and Motor Control
anyone care to join me?

I just stumbled across your website and it looks great with valuable information. The Naples seminar was priceless. I have been exposed to DNS for about two years now and implement these treatment strategies with all patients. I highly encourage reading about developmental kinesiology and brain plasticity before attending any seminar by Pavel. Also if you can find a seminar, or A course, taught by a certified instructor it would be better due to language constraints. Sometimes things just make sense, and this is a key link found common in musculoskeletal dysfunction.
