Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is an assessment and treatment modality in physical therapy, chiropractic and personal training fields. DNS works by stimulating the central nervous system to retrain the neurophysiological aspect of the locomotion system. This allows for ideal spinal and extremity joint stabilization and leads to improved movement patterns and restoration of dysfunctional areas of the body. DNS uses physical therapy models to help activate stabilization musculature, which starts with proper mechanics of the diaphragm, pelvic floor and "core musculature," then expands to the limbs. DNS helps reestablish the connections between muscle and brain and supports treatment in patients with disc herniations, rotator cuff syndrome, neck pain, pelvic floor weakness, GERD (acid reflux), hypertonic muscles from strokes and cerebral palsy and many other conditions.
