About the Course
The DNS Perinatal Manual Course brings the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization from the Prague School of Rehabilitation directly into perinatal care. Over four immersive days, clinicians will learn how developmental kinesiology shapes assessment and treatment of the core, pelvic floor, and respiratory system through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.
This hands on course blends lecture, demonstration, and supervised practical work so you leave with skills you can apply in the clinic the very next day. You will learn to evaluate stabilization strategies in perinatal patients, apply manual techniques rooted in DNS principles, and build progressive exercise plans that restore function through the parenthood transition.
