The functional movement screen is a system that looks at movement patterns. It is not a diagnosis; it’s simply a tool to see how we move. The focal point of this program is that significant limitations in right and left side imbalances exist in every individual.
These imbalances should not be ignored. The body should be free of restrictions and free of imbalances prior to training, conditioning, and competition. These significant limitations distort body awareness and mechanics. These limitations take away from the efficiency of the body and force the body to compensate in some way.
To learn more about the Functional Movement Screen go to Functionalmovement.com
In order to find these imbalances, there are 7 assessments that hit mobility and stability patterns.
1. Deep Squat
2. Hurdle Step
3. In-Line Lunge
4. Shoulder Mobility
5. Active Straight leg raise
6. Trunk Stability push-up
7. Rotary Stability
The scoring of the FMS screen ranges from 0 to 3. 3 being a perfect score. A 0 will be given to the individual if there is any pain associated with the movement. A 1 is given to those who cannot complete the movement. A 2 is given to those who complete the movement, but must compensate in some way.
