EARLY REGISTRATION SHOULDER GIRDLE

Shoulder Girdle Workshop

EARLY REGISTRATION SHOULDER GIRDLE AND LUMBAR

Objectives :

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Identify key features of optimal shoulder girdle posture, joint centration, stabilization and function, including scapulo-humeral coordination.
Explain how developmental kinesiology influences optimal vs. non-optimal shoulder patterns and common compensations.
Perform a DNS-based assessment of the shoulder girdle (observation, key tests, movement strategy identification, and clinical prioritization).
Apply DNS manual techniques to facilitate joint centration, stabilization and appropriate muscle activation in multiple developmental positions.
Select the most appropriate developmental position for a given presentation, and progress/regress positions based on clinical findings and response.
Design and cue corrective exercise progressions for shoulder girdle control using DNS principles (dosage, progression criteria, common errors and corrections).
Apply the DNS approach to common shoulder conditions, such as subacromial pain/impingement presentations, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tendinopathy, etc.
Use DNS for sports rehabilitation and performance training, ensuring proper shoulder girdle joint centration and trunk integration under load, speed and fatigue.
Address participant cases and Q&A using DNS clinical reasoning and practical decision-making.

Prerequisites

Participants must have completed the basic Course-B or Exercise-2.
Participants for all DNS clinical courses must be certified health professionals (MD, DC, PT,PHT, DO, T Phys, OT, ATC)
Course will be taught in English and all supporting material will be in English.

Instructor Jana Vesela

Jana Vesela, a physiotherapist at the Prague School and a certified instructor at Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization® (DNS), earned a master’s degree in physiotherapy from the Faculty of Physical and Sports Education at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2006.
That same year, she began working at the Rehabilitation Clinic of the Charles Motol University Hospital in Prague, as a physiotherapist in both departments and as an outpatient, where she - under the direction of Prof. Pavel Kolar, PaedDr, PhD - applied DNS principles to treat patients (children, adults and geriatrics) with various diagnoses, disabilities and functional/structural problems.
Jana Vesela has lectured at seminars held at the clinic, led clinical workshops and facilitated internships for physiotherapy students and other medical professionals.
In 2009, she became an assistant DNS instructor and helped run DNS courses in the Czech Republic, Europe and Australia.
In 2011, she became a certified DNS instructor and led DNS courses worldwide, including in Europe and the Americas.
During her university studies, she played the ultimate Frisbee and participated in the mixed and women’s division. She is a multiple national champion of the Czech Republic in both divisions and 2007 European silver champion in the mixed division.
She has also been a physiotherapist for Czech Frisbee players, junior athletics and various sports professionals.
