Improve stability and reduce pain by relearning how to move your body with Dynamic Neuromuscular Stimulation
Do you struggle with joint pain? Are you an athlete looking to improve your overall sports performance? No matter which category you identify with, you’ll likely benefit from dynamic neuromuscular stimulation (DNS), a unique approach to physical therapy that involves retraining the way you move. The experts at Elite Health Services in Old Greenwich, CT can help walk you through the process.
Researchers first developed dynamic neuromuscular stimulation to treat children with neurological delays, but it’s now used to help adults looking to improve their core stability and joint mobility. The approach is popular with professional athletes, who say it helps improve their performance and reduce their risk of injury, but it can also be tremendously beneficial to anyone struggling with persistent pain–or who simply wants to move better.
What is dynamic neuromuscular stimulation?
To understand DNS, you first need to understand babies. Specifically, you need to understand how babies move.
Humans aren’t born knowing how to move. We teach ourselves over the first few years of life, hitting certain developmental milestones every few months. For example, babies first learn how to breathe and stabilize their abdomens. Then they lift their heads, pick up their legs, roll over, and eventually stand.
As it turns out, these early movement patterns are the most efficient ways of moving the human body. They’re instinctual and hardwired into our nervous system. Unfortunately, as we get older, we pull away from this ideal way of moving into less efficient patterns, leading to core instability, postural issues, and increased pain.
The purpose of dynamic neuromuscular stimulation is to relearn these effective movement patterns that came naturally to us as infants. Over time, you’ll see improvements in joint mobility, muscle strength, posture, and more.
