Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
DNS vs Pilates
DNS helps integrate strength correctly into movement patterns, making it suitable for everyone. All of us have natural imbalances—one side stronger, tighter, or more flexible than the other. Practicing DNS promotes balance and symmetry throughout the body.
For Pilates enthusiasts, DNS can support a stronger, more controlled practice. Pilates is dynamic, requiring motor control, breath awareness, and precise movement. DNS is based on observing healthy babies’ movement development, echoing ideas Joseph Pilates highlighted in his writings. It enhances progression, control, and connection to the Central Nervous System (CNS), improving joint centration, breath, and overall body awareness.
Even if you don’t practice Pilates, DNS is beneficial. Regular sessions help create a stronger, more stable, and flexible body for everyday life.

What is DNS?
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS)
DNS is a hands-on rehabilitative approach designed to optimise the control and efficiency of the movement system, based on the scientific principles of developmental kinesiology—the neurophysiological aspects of the maturing musculoskeletal system.
It can be used to rehabilitate injuries, enhance athletic performance, prevent injury, or help anyone improve spinal stability and motor control. DNS places strong emphasis on proper breathing and alignment between the ribcage and pelvis to maximise diaphragm function.
This approach was developed in Prague, Czech Republic, by Professor Pavel Kolar, PaedDR.
