Functional Movement Systems
Functional Movement Systems is a company with a mission to help people move better and then move often.
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Put simply, the FMS is a
ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are
key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily
identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that
can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning
and distort body awareness.
The
FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to
target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly
linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore
mechanically sound movement patterns.
Exercise
professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and to identify
those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement
and build strength in each individual.

Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
The
SFMA is the movement based diagnostic system, designed to clinically
assess seven fundamental movement patterns in those with known
musculoskeletal pain.
The assessment provides an efficient method to systematically find the
cause of symptoms, not just the source, by logically breaking down
dysfunctional patterns and diagnosing their root cause as either a
mobility problem or a stability/motor control problem.
This
systematic process allows clinicians to clearly match their
intervention to the main problem of the patient. This model efficiently
integrates the concepts of altered motor control, the neurodevelopmental
perspective and regional interdependence into musculoskeletal practice.
