What is Functional Movement Screening (FMS)?
Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a systematic approach to evaluating movement patterns and identifying potential functional limitations or asymmetries in the body. It consists of a series of seven movement tests that assess fundamental movement patterns such as squatting, lunging, and reaching. The purpose of FMS is to identify areas of dysfunction or weakness that may predispose an individual to injury during physical activity.
By identifying these issues early on, corrective exercises and interventions can be implemented to improve movement quality and reduce the risk of injury. FMS is commonly used by physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals to assess movement quality and guide treatment plans.
Musculoskeletal Injuries
FMS can help identify movement dysfunctions or asymmetries that may contribute to musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, or overuse injuries.
Sports-related Injuries
Athletes often undergo FMS to assess movement quality and address any deficits that may affect their performance or increase their risk of injury.
Low Back Pain
FMS can be used to evaluate movement patterns that may be contributing to low back pain, such as poor hip mobility or core stability.
Postural Issues
FMS can help identify postural imbalances or movement compensations that may lead to pain or dysfunction.
