Functional Movement Screen

Service Description

The FMS fills our need to screen movement in order to identify the biggest opportunities for the individuals we are working with. The best part - it takes only 20 minutes to gain all this valuable information! The FMS is our tool for standardized movement screening to see how an individual, no matter their age, is moving in everyday life. It takes into account both mobility and stability and equips the professional with information to make programming decisions with precision and purpose. How does the FMS help with programming decisions? It identifies movement patterns the individual moves well in, patterns that can be developed or loaded. But it also identifies patterns that are not ideal and need to be protected and corrected. In other words, there is no more guessing! At the end of an FMS, you will have valuable information for that individual to create a program specific to them to foster an environment to meet their goals and keep them healthy. Healthcare professionals use the FMS standard operating procedure for discharge back into activities. Getting someone out of pain is no longer enough. We must look at movement to ensure success in their return to what they enjoy so they do not end up back in pain.
