DNS High Kneeling

The various clinical conditions that affect the lower extremity such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, patello-femoral syndrome, IT band syndrome, and hip impingement often have one thing in common: the inability to stabilize the trunk and pelvis on a stable foot. Research has taught us the open kinetic chain strengthening exercises rarely improves the problem because stability and motor control have very little to do with the anatomical strength of any muscle or group of muscles. These clinical conditions of the lower extremities that can have a significant impact up into the back, shoulders and neck have to be addressed by improving function and the quality of movement and stabilization of the entire kinetic chain. Training in the High Kneeling developmental position is an excellent strategy for correcting these very common and often debilitating conditions.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I think this is one of the best DNS videos I've ever seen. Thank you again.

[@TeamGasparin]

Thank you for your generously kind words. I am glad that you find our videos helpful. Creating ideal stabilization and movement is all about the little but vitally important details. Too often, this is overlooked or not taught correctly.

What a burn this is! To hold for 5 breaths on each side. Haven't felt my quads and glutes this "on" during and exercise in awhile!

[@TeamGasparin]

I am glad to read that the exercise is activating those muscles well. My interest in DNS grew when I created a balanced activation of the agonists, synergists and antagonist muscles of the hip that came more as a reflex than simply trying to "squeeze" my glutes. Whenever we create a solid base of support, ideal intra-abdominal pressure, proper postural uprighting and the correct direction of muscle pull, you can be sure good things will happen.

This is like hanging position. Right?
