What is a Functional Movement Screen?
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is an assessment tool designed to evaluate movement patterns and identify limitations or imbalances that could lead to injury. Developed by physical therapists and fitness experts, FMS focuses on assessing how well a person moves in various functional tasks, such as squatting, lunging, and reaching. These movements are seen continuously through sports and training, but also apply to everyday activities like getting up from a chair, hanging the washing, carrying the shopping, or picking up the kids.
The system is based on the idea that optimal movement is essential for overall health, performance, and injury prevention. By identifying dysfunctional movement patterns, FMS provides a clear picture of an individual’s physical capabilities and helps guide personalised interventions to improve the system as a whole.
Our chiropractor, Dr Olivia, is trained and certified in this unique system to SHOW you your imbalances but also how to address them.
Why Choose a Functional Movement Screening Consult?
- Personalised Assessment
Every individual is unique and so are their movement patterns. A consult allows for a comprehensive assessment tailored to you, specifically. This one-on-one attention helps in pinpointing problem areas and understanding your body’s mechanics. - Injury Prevention
FMS is designed to identify risk factors before they result in injuries – prevention is better than cure! By addressing these issues early, you can avoid pain and setbacks, enabling you to stay active and perform at your best. - Enhanced Performance
Whether you’re an athlete looking to optimise performance or a weekend warrior wanting to enjoy your favourite activities, FMS can help improve your efficiency and effectiveness in movement. Addressing movement deficiencies can lead to better strength, agility, and endurance – a better body! - Holistic Approach
FMS takes a comprehensive look at your movement and lifestyle. The assessment not only highlights physical limitations but also considers how these factors interact with your overall health, making it easier to develop a holistic plan for improvement. - Expert Guidance
Our certified FMS professionals have the knowledge and experience to interpret your results and develop a personalised plan. Whether it’s corrective exercises, mobility work, or lifestyle changes, you’ll receive expert guidance every step of the way. - Education and Empowerment
