Functional Movement Screen

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a practical assessment tool used to evaluate basic movement patterns essential for daily activities and athletic performance. It involves a series of simple, specific tests that observe how well you move in areas like flexibility, balance, and coordination. The goal is to identify any movement limitations or asymmetries that could increase the risk of injury or affect performance. By understanding your movement quality, professionals can develop personalized exercise programs to improve strength, stability, and overall movement efficiency, promoting safer activity and helping prevent injuries.
