Course objectives:

PART I: 2 day course

  1. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of developmental kinesiology.

  2. Describe the relationship between development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the locomotor system in adulthood.

  3. Discuss and demonstrate the basis of human movement: support, stepping forward, the biomechanics of motor function, the verticalization process & functional joint centration in postural development.

  4. Evaluate and correct poor respiratory patterns.

  5. Assess the integrated stabilizing system of the spine both visually and utilizing dynamic functional tests.

  6. Integrate corrective exercises based on the DNS functional tests and developmental positions in supine, prone, low kneeling, oblique sit, and quadruped global movements.

  7. Demonstrate how DNS corrective exercises can be integrated with other exercise strategies.

PART II: 2 day course

  1. Review of developmental kinesiology in the context of adult optimal posture, sports performance, and global motor patterns to enhance outcomes in sport and human movement.

  2. Demonstrate exercises in higher developmental positions – tripod, bear, squat, lunge, step up and its modifications & training of body awareness.

  3. Demonstrate exercises utilizing the principles of developmental kinesiology with elastic bands, barbells, weights, and gymball

  4. Discuss & demonstrate DNS exercises for specific sport techniques: throwing, jumping, stroke, skating etc.

  5. Students who want to work towards DNS Trainer certification must pass an online test after DNS Exercise course part II, and before taking DNS Exercise course part III.The online test consists of 30 multiple choice questions, 10 picture and 5 video questions. To pass the test the student must answer 32 out of the 45 questions correctly. The student gets a maximum of three attempts to pass the test. Students are recommended to retake DNS Exercise II course and then to take the online test again in case of failing to pass the test on the three attempts. As soon as submitting the test the student receives results by email. Passing the online test is a prerequisite before taking the Practical test at the DNS Exercise Course part III, and being certified as a DNS Exercise Trainer.

PART III: 2 day course

  1. Review the physiological framework for the DNS principles

  2. Detailed definition of optimal postural stabilization, stepping forward (reaching, grasping, kicking) and supporting (taking off) function

  3. The most common painful syndromes in various types of athletes, pathology in: 

    • shoulder girdle (rotator cuff, impingement, biceps tendinitis,  elbow problems (epicondylitis), pelvic girdle (hip joint pain, groin problems), knee (ACL injury, meniscus lesions, jumper’s knee), foot

  4. Examples of the most common sports and how to apply DNS principles based on the Discuss & demonstrate DNS exercises for specific sport techniques: throwing, jumping, stroke, skating etc. sport context:

      • running/sprinting, throwing sports (Baseball, Tennis, Basketball, Shot Put, etc), kicking/soccer, swimming, cycling, golf

  1.  Optional practical testing of the participant’s skills to achieve Certified DNS Exercise 

   Trainer Diploma

  1. Certification in DNS Exercise Course

To ensure adequate practice with clients, this practical test can only be taken one year after 

completion of the first DNS course (either DNS Exercise I or DNS A). You may still choose to take

DNS Exercise III prior to that 1-year span.  However, if you wish to take the trainer certification practical test, you will have to re-take Level III  again and sit for the test. Also, completing an online test after DNS exercise II  is a prerequisite for taking the practical test at DNS Exercise III course.

When you earn your certification, you can choose to have your name listed on the Prague School Rehabilitation website for a one-time fee of 20 Euros. You are required to take at least 1 DNS course every 3 years to retain your certification status.
