Overview
About Functional Movement Screening THerapy
Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a method used to evaluate and assess an individual’s movement patterns and identify any dysfunctions or imbalances that may contribute to pain, injury, or limited physical performance. FMS is a valuable tool for physical therapists, athletic trainers, coaches, and other healthcare professionals who work with individuals in the areas of rehabilitation, sports performance, and fitness.
FMS is a comprehensive screening process that evaluates seven fundamental movement patterns: deep squat, hurdle step, inline lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability. The evaluation is designed to identify imbalances or asymmetries in movement patterns, as well as any limitations in mobility or stability.
