Osteopathy Integration, Part 1

Osteopathic medicine and developmental kinesiology work together to optimize innate healing mechanisms by honoring the connections in anatomy and physiology to address complex patterns of movement and trauma.
This course evaluates the body as a unit with the understanding that restoring physiological motion requires a combination of passive and active therapies. In Clinical Course 1A osteopathic medicine will marry the practice of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization with the evaluation and treatment of anatomical structure, inflammatory coordination, respiratory function, and neuromuscular health. By combining the subtle and specific techniques of osteopathic medicine with mindful developmental movement it is possible to stabilize the vulnerabilities of past injuries and optimize physical health.

What is Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)?
The nervous system establishes programs that control human posture, movement and gait. This ‘motor control’ is largely established during the first critical years of life. Therefore, the “Prague School” emphasizes neurodevelopmental aspects of motor control in order to assess and restore dysfunction of the locomotor system and associated syndromes.
- The “Prague School” of Rehabilitation and Manual Medicine was established by key neurologists/physiatrists, all of whom were giants in the 20th Century rehabilitation movement: Professors’ Vaclav Vojta, Karel Lewit, Vladimir Janda, and Frantisek Vele.
- Based upon the groundbreaking neurodevelopmental and rehabilitation principles described by these mentors,Pavel Kolarhas organized the next generation of clinical protocols that are designed to restore and stabilize locomotor function. This new rehabilitation approach is called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).
