DNS method of the Prague School is based on neuro-developing aspects of motoric control with the aim to remove different forms of dysfunctions and compensations as well as to establish efficient patterns of moving. As a matter of fact, in the earliest phases of child development a nervous system creates motoric program which controls posture, walking and the overall motion. Through lifetime, as a consequence of the impact of different forces, badly developed habits in motion as well as numerous other factors, the earliest motoric development fades away and the advantageous patterns of motion get substituted with the disadvantageous ones. It results in bad posture, non-economic motion, reduced level of energy and finally chronic pains and injuries.
Therefore DNS applies specific kinds of motion which belong to a certain phase of neuro-motoric development through which the basic patterns of motion are being taught and the level of motoric status enhanced. In such a way the conditions for further secure development of more complex motoric abilities as well as for the application of intensive kinds of training are being created.
The basic focus of the DNS method is the stabilization of the trunk through the correct mechanism of breathing with creation of intra-abdominal pressure. At the same time, the conditions for functional centering of all joints are being created, as well as conditions in which the extremities can develop not only their optimal and secure mobility but also their vigor and strength.
The DNS method includes specific diagnostic, therapeutic and training protocols directed to rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation, recreation and sport. As a recreational program, it is applied in the prevention of injuries, in the optimization of motion, as a support to other recreational programs as well as permanently modified form of corrective gymnastics.
DNS is intended for:
- men and women irrespective of their age and physical preparedness
- recreational athletes who want to better the posture, the quality of motion, stability and mobility of all their joints
- athletes, as prevention of sports injuries
- individuals in rehabilitation with the aim to make them integrate into everyday life as soon as possible, as well as the support in faster recovery
