Course Description

Infant Torticollis: Comprehensive Evaluation, DNS Intervention, and Potential Long-Term Outcomes. A one-day professional seminar introducing the DNS approach to this clinical topic.

Comprehensive understanding of muscular torticollis – one of the most common motor abnormalities in infancy, including its causes, clinical presentation, and developmental consequences.

Diagnostic approach – differentiation of muscular torticollis from other etiologies, assessment of cranial asymmetries, and identification of risk factors that may influence motor development.

Treatment strategies – correction techniques, handling, positioning, and parental education to support daily home care.

Prevention and management of cranial asymmetries – practical strategies to reduce positional plagiocephaly and optimize symmetrical motor development.

Integration of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) – application of DNS principles to evaluate motor maturation and support targeted neuromuscular interventions.

DNS-based therapeutic framework – promoting postural control, neuromuscular balance, and early motor symmetry. Treatment in toddlers and older children.

Case studies and clinical scenarios – real examples that demonstrate treatment progressions and provide actionable insights for immediate use in clinical practice.

Hands-on practice – guided sessions that strengthen assessment skills and improve therapeutic confidence.

During DNS courses, participants are not allowed to take videos, photographs, or audio recordings of the course, instructors, participants, or therapeutic demonstrations.
