Functional Movement Screening


Imagine knowing where you are most likely to be injured and having a tailored plan to strengthen areas of risk and defend against future injury.

The Functional Movement Screen TM  is a tool used by our therapists to identify vulnerabilities and  help you perform at your peak.


Picture
The Functional Movement Screen evaluates movement patterns through a series of 7 specific movements.  Performance on each of the 7 elements of the screen is then converted into a score that ranges from 0-21. Research shows that a score of 14 or lower is connected to increased risk of injury from a non-contact event. In other words, you are  more vulnerable to injuries that could be avoided. 

Though the Functional Movement Screen is ​not a therapeutic evaluation, it identifies vulnerabilities in movement patterns that may indicate a need for such measures. FMS is a great way to check in with your body and how it moves.

​
To understand even more about your body mechanics, our therapists use the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to further evaluate the causes and contributing factors of dysfunctional movement patterns. Using the information from the SFMA screen, the therapists  tailor an exercise and/or treatment plan that is personalized to your needs.
