DNS Skills Course on Scoliosis and asymmetry
Course Goals and Description
· This course is for practitioners who have taken DNS A course previously. It is designed to enhance your clinical skills and confidence in applying DNS principles and manual techniques in clients with scoliosis and postural asymmetry.
· DNS functional tests to assess individuals with scoliosis and body asymmetry.
· Clinical evaluation of patients with scoliosis, including the use of DNS functional tests to assess individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) and postural asymmetry.
· Overview of the classification and etiology of AIS, acquired scoliosis, and asymmetry in childhood.
· Principles of sagittal stabilization in children, adults, and athletes, with emphasis on achieving optimal posture and enhancing sports performance in individuals with scoliosis.
· Hands-on workshop to refine manual skills for addressing asymmetries of the chest, pelvis, and spine.
· Therapeutic modifications of DNS developmental positions to promote corrective outcomes.
· Training in body awareness and postural control is an integral component of rehabilitation.
· Rehabilitation strategies specific to scoliosis across different age groups and clinical
· Presentations.
· Application of advanced variations of Klapp crawling for scoliosis.
· Video analysis and live demonstrations of patient assessment and treatment.
This is a 4 days coursefor attendees who works primarily with scoliosis and postural asymetry.
Day 1: 9.00 – 17.30
Day 2: 9.00 – 17.30
Day 3: 9.00 – 17.30
