Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)

Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a comprehensive evaluation method used by healthcare professionals to identify movement dysfunctions and pain origins. It involves observing and testing how a person moves through various physical motions to pinpoint areas that may be causing discomfort or preventing optimal function. By systematically assessing movement patterns, SFMA helps determine if issues are due to joint, muscle, or neurological factors, guiding targeted treatment plans to improve movement quality and reduce pain. It’s a tool for diagnosing underlying problems to support effective rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
