The feed-forward system Have you heard about something called the "Feed-forward system" of trunk stabilisation? This is a core principles in DNS training Let me explain what it is and why it matters. In a feed-forward system of trunk stabilization your body will prepare core stability BEFORE any other movement happens! So instead of reacting after you move, your nervous system anticipates the movement and activates key stabilising muscles a fraction of time BEFORE you move. T

Many athletes—and even entire sporting careers—are cut short by something surprisingly simple: the way the body is loaded over time. When muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints are repeatedly stressed in ways they weren’t designed to handle, small problems can gradually build up. Over months or years, these stresses can lead to tissue irritation, dysfunction, and eventually serious injury. A common issue in modern training is the focus on building muscle size and strength th

Incorrect breathing patterns lead to postural instability, or in simple words, if you do not breathe correctly, you cannot align your trunk properly (and vice versa), which in turn renders your trunk unstable. If your trunk isn't doing the job it is supposed to, other parts of your body will need to jump in and do the heavy lifting (excuse the pun). This often involves the hip flexors and psoas muscles. In addition, overactive hip flexors are often associated with overactive

A study by Davidek et al. (2018) published in the Journal of Human Kinetics examined the effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercise on maximum paddling force (PF) and self-reported pain perception in the shoulder girdle area in flatwater kayakers. Twenty male flatwater kayakers from a local club (age = 21.9 ± 2.4 years, body height = 185.1 ± 7.9 cm, body mass = 83.9 ± 9.1 kg) were randomly assigned to the DNS training or control groups. During the 6-week s

Developmental kinesiology is the study of how human movement patterns and posture develop from infancy and how these movement patterns shape the way we move our bodies, stabilise and breathe for the rest of our lives. It is the development that babies undergo to learn to control their bodies. They do so by going through predictable stages, such as: lying on their backs and stomachs rolling crawling sitting standing walking This development of human movement is driven by INBOR

Who would have thought that you can understand how DNS training affects the body by using a computer analogy. Just as a computer relies on coordinated communication between hardware, firmware, and software, the body relies on precise timing between the brain, nervous system, muscles, and joints to produce stable, efficient movement. 1. The operating system analogy DNS functions like the body’s operating system (OS) . The brain acts as the CPU, processing information and send

If you have ever ridden through pain, you know how exhausting it makes you feel, and how discouraged you can become when nothing you do keeps the pain away. I have been riding and training horses for decades and as so many horse riders, I experienced daily episodes of pain, that have made it hard to balance my passion for riding with my effectivness in the saddle. Over the years, I tried various therapies (the list is very long!), yet the medicine cabinet with the pain me
