Functional Movement Screen (FMS):
Assess, Correct, and Enhance Your Movement

What is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)?

​

FMS is a series of seven fundamental movement patterns that assess your body’s mobility, stability, and coordination. These patterns reveal imbalances, weaknesses, or limitations that may put you at risk for injury or hinder your performance in sports and daily activities. Our therapists analyze your FMS results to develop a personalized approach that corrects these imbalances and optimizes your movement efficiency.

 

Why Choose FMS?

 

Functional Movement Screening offers invaluable insights for anyone looking to improve their physical function, prevent injuries, or maximize athletic performance. Through this assessment, we can identify and target movement deficiencies, guiding a tailored exercise plan that builds a solid foundation for safe, functional movement.

 

Benefits of FMS

​

• Injury Prevention: By identifying and addressing movement imbalances and weaknesses, FMS helps reduce the risk of both acute injuries and chronic overuse issues.

• Enhanced Performance: Correcting dysfunctional movement patterns and building strength in weak areas improves overall movement efficiency, enhancing athletic performance and daily function.

• Improved Mobility and Stability: FMS guides exercises that improve joint mobility and core stability, leading to better balance, coordination, and control.

• Personalized Training Plans: FMS results help us create customized plans tailored to your unique movement needs and goals.

• Long-Term Wellness: By building balanced strength and mobility, FMS promotes long-term health, reducing the likelihood of pain and injury as you stay active.

​

Our FMS services are ideal for:

​​

• Athletes: From recreational players to competitive athletes, FMS helps prevent injuries and supports peak performance.
