DNS & Clinical Neurodynamics Bridging the Two Foundational Systems
Workshop Objectives:
This webinar aims to introduce Clinical Neurodynamics and to bridge two foundational systems - Clinical Neurodynamics and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization.
Clinical Neurodynamics is a system of assessment and treatment of peripheral nerve injuries based on the science of Neurodynamics - the study of the anatomy, mechanics, and physiology of the peripheral nervous system, as it relates to the anatomy and mechanics of the musculoskeletal system.
Michael Shacklock originated the concept in 1995 with his paper in the British Journal of Physiotherapy, forming future scientific cornerstones to be applied in clinical practice, which he later expanded on in his international best-selling book Clinical Neurodynamics, published by Elsevier, Oxford, in 2005.
The Clinical Neurodynamics system provides strategic and research-based solutions to evaluating and managing peripheral nerve injuries, including but not limited to lumbar and cervical disc herniation with radiculopathy, as you know, DNS forms an effective system aimed at the postural dysfunction that often precedes and perpetuates this injury.
Dr. Michael Maxwell is certified as an International Instructor of DNS and Clinical Neurodynamics. In this webinar, he will introduce Clinical Neurodynamics and how its approach to cervical radiculopathy bridges with the DNS approach to address the postural function of the cervicothoracic spine.

DNS Online Movement Sequencing and Flow Workshop - Interactive
Presented in 2 sessions
During this workshop, we focus on the dynamic sequencing of movement preparation in the Ipsilateral, contralateral, and non-differentiated developmental movement patterns. Eliska’s expertise and guidance guides us through this sequencing. This is an amazing opportunity to practice the application of the DNS concepts and enhance your application on yourself and to the people you work with.
