Functional Movement System (FMS)

The Functional Movement System (FMS) is a screening tool designed to evaluate movement patterns and identify any limitations or asymmetries in physical function. It consists of a series of specific tests that assess how well a person can perform basic movements like squatting, reaching, and lunging. By analyzing these movements, professionals can determine a person's risk of injury, assess their physical fitness, and create personalized exercise programs to improve performance and overall health. The goal of FMS is to promote efficient movement, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance.
