DNS - Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation
Chris has been practicing DNS since 2014, and is one of a small pool of fully certified DNS practitioners here in the UK.
As recently discussed by Dr Peter Attia on his podcast and in his recent book, DNS deals with the building blocks of movement and postural stabilisation, that we begin to develop from merely a few months of age. Chris uses DNS to help patients of all ages and abilities to optimise their performance & movement patterns, and to achieve optimal posture and stabilisation of the spine & musculoskeletal system.
