Functional Movement Screen

The Functional Movement Screen is an innovative tool developed by the nation's top physical therapists for the purpose of elevating movement pattern in professional athletes. Designed to identify musculoskeletal imbalances, the FMS is used to solve chronic pain issues during movement as well as to learn new movements that allow you to perform your daily activities at a higher functional level. Whether it's walking up the subway stairs or biking across Asia, the FMS allows you to perform better by learning what's not functioning optimally. Ignoring a weak link increases the potential for disaster, just as strengthening the wrong links will not improve the integrity of the chain. The FMS provides the means to identify and resolve any weak links that may be jeopardizing the body and its healthy motion.

The FMS consists of 7 movement screens designed to identify weaknesses that are not otherwise obvious.
