Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
(DNS) is a
developmental
kinesiology
approach
About
me
Graduating
with a BSc in
Biology (2:1),
I worked in
the Life
Sciences until
I discovered
remedial
therapy. I am still helping people but just on a different
scale.
What I do now
is more
direct.
Learning, I
believe should
be continuous
as the body is
so complex.
In 2014-15, I
obtained a
Merit (75-84%
pass) for the
Advanced
clinical
diploma in
Myofascial
release and
trained with
various
Osteopaths.
In 2016, I
studied and
certified in
NeuroKinetic
Therapy levels
1 and 2. I also attended quite a large
number of day
study groups.
Further to all
this, I
completed
Dynamic
Neuromuscular
Stabilization
(DNS,
Physiotherapist
led course)
level 1 and
attended the
British Fascia
Symposium in
June.
Update-
This year
(2017), I have
been busy with
DNS level 2 and have certified in Neurokinetic therapy
level 3.
I also
attended an
integrated
muscle testing
and palpation
course, led by
an NKT master
practitioner.
Pain
is complicated
and resolving
it can be a
challenge
unless you
look at the
bigger
picture. The
advanced
courses that I
attend creates
new thinking
and gives a
very different
perspective to
the body.
Each
appointment is
unique to you.
Let me
explain. If
two people are
presented with
knee pain,
patterns of
compensation
will be
different.
Why? If one
has a history
of hip pain,
plantar
fasciitis and
sprained
ankle. The
other person
who is
otherwise
healthy, sits
all day for
work, then
runs 10Km
every weekend.
How the brain
organises
movement and
muscles to
compensate
will therefore
vary from
person to
person.
I don't just
release
muscles
because they
feel tight.
A good analogy
would be a
well used rope
bridge which
has a
combination of
overly tight
and loose
ropes. Would
it make sense
to loosen the
tight ones?
No. Therefore
one begs the
question,
should you
foam roll a
tight painful
muscle without
knowing why?
