Course description
Idiopathic scoliosis is a common yet complex condition requiring a specialized, evidence-based approach. This course offers internationally recognized DNS training focused on precise assessment and individualized therapy planning. It emphasizes understanding pathophysiology, differentiating postural deviations, and managing scoliosis, including brace treatment.
DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) scoliosis therapy uses three-dimensional correction strategies that actively engage the central nervous system. Key topics include sagittal stabilization, intra-abdominal pressure regulation, and diaphragm function to support posture and enhance physical performance across age groups.
Participants will gain deep insight into the anatomy, biomechanics, and progression of scoliosis, enabling them to treat patients confidently in conservative, pre-/postoperative, and rehab settings. The course combines neurophysiological theory with hands-on practice and concludes with both theoretical and practical exams based on DNS.
Course objectives:
Pre- and post-operative physiotherapy in scoliosis
Neuromuscular scoliosis, other secondary scoliosis
DNS for scoliosis
Sport in scoliotic patients
Adult scoliosis - treatment strategies; Pregnancy, delivery in scoliosis
Practical application of corrective exercises
Patient examples (live demo and video analysis)
Theoretical and practical examination
Prague School Registration Fee
Open to professionals (physiotherapists, doctors) working with scoliosis patients. No prior DNS course is required. Both newcomers and those with DNS experience will benefit from essential, practical knowledge for treating various types of scoliosis.
|
Prague School registration fee helps to support DNS scientific activities, to collect new video/photo material, to develop the DNS handouts and publishing activities, to present the DNS system at the scientific congresses, and to present the DNS concept online. |
It is not a payment for the course. Please contact the local organizer to secure your enrollment in the course and make sure that the course is not full, prior to paying Prague School registration fee. Once your PS fee is completed, your registration will automatically be sent to the course organizer. After that, payment of course fees can be made with the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to request proof of licensure.
The Prague School registration fee is non-refundable.
Without your online registration and PS fee payment you will not be permitted to attend any DNS course nor will you receive the Prague School Certificate of Attendance; thus you cannot take the DNS test and you will not be allowed to register for later advanced courses.
Thank you for your understanding
