DNS is a neurological approach to rehabilitation that reprograms the body's deep stabilization system — the foundation of all movement. Dr. Lamarche is one of a limited number of certified DNS practitioners in the Marietta area.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a rehabilitation approach developed at the Prague School of Rehabilitation. It is based on how the central nervous system controls movement — drawing from the developmental movement patterns humans use in the first years of life.
In a healthy movement system, the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine, diaphragm, and pelvic floor automatically co-activate before any limb movement begins. This pre-activation creates a stable foundation for every action you perform — from picking up a bag to sprinting on the field.
When this system is disrupted by injury, pain, poor breathing patterns, or prolonged postural stress, compensation patterns develop. Surface muscles take over the work of deep stabilizers. The spine and joints become less supported. Pain persists. Injuries recur.
DNS identifies and corrects these dysfunctional patterns at the neurological level — not just the muscular one.
Dr. Lamarche evaluates your stabilization patterns, breathing mechanics, and movement quality to identify where the system has broken down.
Using specific developmental positions and tactile feedback, she guides the nervous system back to its optimal stabilization strategy — restoring the patterns that pain and injury disrupted.
DNS retraining is integrated with chiropractic care and progressive exercise therapy to translate improved stability into real-world movement and sport.
Dr. Lamarche integrates DNS into every patient plan where it is appropriate. Book your evaluation to find out if this approach is right for your situation.
