FMS (Functional Movement System)

The Functional Movement System (FMS) is a screening tool used to assess an individual’s basic movement patterns, such as squatting, lunging, and reaching. It identifies movement limitations or asymmetries that could increase the risk of injury or hinder performance. By evaluating how well someone moves, FMS helps trainers and healthcare professionals design personalized programs to improve movement efficiency, reduce injury risk, and enhance overall functional ability. Essentially, it's a way to ensure that fundamental movements are performed correctly, supporting safe and effective activity in daily life and sports.
