Functional Movement Screen (FMS)

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to assess an individual's movement patterns to identify potential limitations or asymmetries that could increase injury risk. It involves a series of simple, specific movements designed to evaluate mobility, stability, and coordination. By analyzing how well a person performs these movements, trainers or healthcare professionals can identify areas needing improvement and develop targeted training or intervention plans. The goal is to enhance functional movement efficiency, reduce injury risk, and optimize overall physical performance.
