Functional Movement Screenings
Recommended for: Employers, Fitness Experts, Athletes and “Health Nuts”
What is your weakest link?
The FMS helps identify and eliminate your weakest link. FMS is a test performed by a Physical Therapist who takes you through a screening to assess your movement patterns. Scoring each motion identifies your weakest link; you will then know if you're compensating in a way that might be harmful to your body and result in future injury or pain.
What is a Functional Movement Screen?
An assessment used to indentify flaws in fundamental movement patterns. The FMS uses evidence to determine injury risk. Following the FMS, a report is generated that displays areas of weakness, asymmetry and an overall score. The therapist will provide a corrective exercise program based on these findings.
