FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENINGS (FMS)
A Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is an assessment that analyzes an individuals movement. We look into this movement by using objective and validated measurements. These measurements can help us establish a movement baseline and build foundations in order to help an athlete train with purpose and precision. The FMS tool is used to help identify limitations or asymmetries using seven fundamental movement patterns that are key to functional movement quality in individuals with no current pain or known musculoskeletal injuries. Using the scoring results your therapist can then put into action a purpose-driven exercise program catered to your needs. Your Physical Therapist at Prime Physical Therapy & Sports Care is certified in performing these screenings.
SFMA Screening
The SFMA is our clinical assessment for those who experience pain. It is a movement based diagnostic system which systematically finds the cause of pain, not just the source, by logically breaking down dysfunctional movement patterns in a structured, repeatable assessment. What makes SFMA unique? We are the first organized system that takes into account altered motor control or the inability to coordinate proper movements. This system allows us to identify the correct problems such as mobility versus motor control to best equip our clinicians for a successful outcome.
