Unlock Your Body’s Potential
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a specialized assessment tool designed to evaluate fundamental movement patterns in individuals without current pain or musculoskeletal injury. At SpineCare, our FMS-certified doctors use this screening to identify opportunities for improving your movement and overall performance.
The FMS focuses on seven key movement patterns, allowing our specialists to pinpoint areas where you may experience limitations.
Why Is the FMS Important?
The FMS is not a diagnostic tool for orthopedic problems. Rather, it highlights potential deficits in stability and mobility during movement. Even highly active individuals may have underlying limitations that lead to compensatory movements. These compensations can hinder performance, reduce biomechanics efficiency, and increase the risk of injury over time.
In simpler terms, the Functional Movement Screen helps identify deficiencies in posture and movement, ensuring that any underlying issues are addressed before they lead to injury.
The FMS Process
The screening process involves a series of tests conducted by our certified doctors at SpineCare. Each test evaluates different aspects of your movement capabilities, helping to reveal any instability or lack of mobility. It’s essential to understand that this is not a self-diagnostic test; a trained professional is required to facilitate and record the results accurately.
