Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
  • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) represents a unique approach to the human movement system, integrating neurology, developmental kinesiology, and clinical practice. It is based on the understanding that movement quality is not determined solely by muscles and joints, but primarily by how movement is controlled by the central nervous system. 
  • DNS translates these principles into specific assessment and therapeutic strategies. It utilizes natural movement patterns established during early development and reactivates them where they have been disrupted. The result is improved stability, coordination, and efficient movement without overload or pain.
  • The concept builds on the legacy of Czech rehabilitation pioneers such as  Vaclav Vojta, Karel Lewit, Vladimir Janda,  whose work has profoundly influenced modern rehabilitation. The contemporary form of DNS was developed and systematized by Pavel Kolář
  • DNS changes the perspective on therapy. Rather than addressing isolated symptoms, it restores the global control of movement.

Testimonial from 2025 C course in Prague

Without doubt, all of the instructors in this course were very knowledgeable and well prepared to deliver their parts very clearly and effectively.The instructors were phenomenal - they were born to be a teacher! Furthermore, it was such a good opportunity to meet up with other open-minded healthcare professionals from the different parts of the world to share, discuss each other's knowledge, experiences and thoughts. Many thanks to all of the DNS family. I will definitely come back to Prague for another course.

Study DNS under the guidance of Professor Pavel Kolář and multiple certified DNS instructors.

- High instructor-to-participant ratio

- Large team of highly skilled DNS instructors

- Real patient demonstrations

Complete your Pre-D education, pass the tests, and get ready to join the D Course next year — August 17–22, 2026.

  • An event fully dedicated to DNS at the prestigious Stanford University
  • In-depth DNS education based on developmental kinesiology and neuroscience
  • Lectures, hands-on workshops, and live demonstrations for direct clinical and performance application
  • Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure increases with postural and load demand and arm elevation; no change with arms alongside the body
  • Upper esophageal sphincter pressure (UES) is position-dependent but not  load- dependent 
  • Professional athletes outperform non-professionals in key visuomotor domains
  • Performance varies by sex and sport type
  • Visuomotor functions are interrelated, reflecting integrated perception–action processing
