DNS 10 Month Tall Sit Exercise | Posture and Core Training
The DNS 10 Month Tall Sit exercise is a core stability and posture training movement inspired by developmental milestones from infancy. Around ten months old, infants can independently sit upright while stabilizing their head, spine, and shoulders. Practicing this position as an adult helps retrain stability muscles, improve posture, and integrate breathing with movement. It is a valuable exercise for injury prevention, athletic performance, and rehabilitation.
In this instructional video, Dr. Travis Dockery of Life in Motion Chiropractic, explains how to perform the DNS 10 Month Tall correctly Sit. He demonstrates proper spinal alignment, breathing techniques, and shoulder positioning to maximize the benefits. This movement can help athletes improve coordination, office workers correct forward head posture, and patients strengthen their core after injuries.

- Keep a tall spine, gently retract your neck, and place your hands behind your head or just below.
