I first came across DNS back in 2016 from my old mentor, Jordan Moncrieff. He was a coach & Osteopath who had some of the best movement patterning, coordination & body awareness I’d seen. It was so impressive to watch how intentional he was with movement & training. When someone moves REALLY well, it’s mesmerising.
We ran a Bootcamp together back in Fawkner Park, Melbourne, Australia for 5 years. Cold mornings, rain, hail or shine – we were out in that park coaching physical fitness 5 days a week. He had a skillset that could help anyone with an injury, or anyone who didn’t have that much body control (yet), to reduce their pain & improve their movement patterns, so much so it seemed like magic!
The framework: DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation)
Yes, that’s the Aussie way of spelling it 😉
We added DNS into our warm ups for training, we gave out DNS exercises to students as ‘homework’ to help with injuries or postural issues & we added in a regular DNS class that, in my opinion, was the golden nugget we were missing from our programming to help students improve their movement & body awareness.
With regular practice, students had:
- Better posture
- Less pain
- More confidence in their body & what it CAN do
- More coordination
- Better balance
- Better movement patterning
- Increased stability
Plus a PROFOUND increase in their ability to create intra-abdominal pressure – which for me as a powerlifter, I became obsessed with.
It was mind-blowingly helpful.. So, I’m bringing it to DEUCE.
