Kolar’s approach to dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) is a complex one that encompasses principles of developmental kinesiology during the first year of human life. Further, it includes defining posture, breathing pattern, and functional joint centration from a ‘neurodevelopmental’ perspective. DNS assessment is based on comparing the patient’s stabilizing pattern to the one of a healthy infant. The treatment approach is based on ontogenetic postural locomotor patterns. Optimizing the distribution of internal forces of muscles that act on each segment of the spine and/or any other joint is the primary goal of this treatment approach.
