Denver Tech Center Chiropractor Dr. Forrest Achieves Certified DNS Exercise Trainer® (DNSET)

What is DNS you ask? For starters, it stands for dynamic neuromuscular stabilization. It consists of protocols based on the teachings and treatment programs of Dr. Pavel Kolar and Dr. Karel Lewit, the father of manual medicine. The exercises and positions are derived from developmental kinesiology, the way we develop in the first year of life. By using these positions that the body has been in the past, and in fact developed through, we can essentially hit “control-alt-delete” on the brain and re-train movement patterns and joint stabilization. The goal is to put the body back in these developmental positions to optimize joint position and activate all the correct muscles around those joints. The combination of joint manipulation and DNS exercises is extremely powerful for the overall function of the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems.

DNS serves as another functional tool in the treatment belt for providing world-class care. This functional triage approach to evaluation and management of neuromusculoskeletal cases includes observing and feeling movement patterns, joints and soft tissues to determine the best route to take in treatment on a visit-by-visit basis. If you have any questions about DNS or any of the other treatment approaches Dr. Forrest offers, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office.
