Functional Movement Screening: Enhance Performance, Prevent Injury, and Optimize Movement Patterns

Are you looking to improve your athletic performance, prevent injuries, or simply move more efficiently in your daily activities? Our functional movement screening services can help you achieve your goals by identifying movement dysfunctions, imbalances, and limitations that may be hindering your performance or predisposing you to injury.

What is Functional Movement Screening?

Functional movement screening is a comprehensive assessment process designed to evaluate fundamental movement patterns and identify any asymmetries, weaknesses, or compensations that may be present. By analyzing how you move in various functional tasks, we can pinpoint areas of dysfunction and develop targeted interventions to address them.

How Does Functional Movement Screening Work?

During a functional movement screening session, our trained therapists will guide you through a series of movements and exercises that mimic everyday activities, sports-specific motions, and functional tasks. We'll assess your mobility, stability, strength, and coordination across different planes of motion to gain insights into your movement patterns and identify areas of concern.

Benefits of Functional Movement Screening

  • Early Detection of Movement Dysfunctions: Functional movement screening allows us to detect movement dysfunctions and imbalances before they lead to pain or injury, enabling us to intervene proactively.

  • Customized Intervention Strategies: Based on the results of your screening, we'll develop a personalized intervention plan tailored to address your specific movement limitations and goals.

  • Enhanced Performance: By correcting movement dysfunctions and improving movement efficiency, functional movement screening can help enhance athletic performance and optimize movement patterns.

  • Injury Prevention: Identifying and addressing movement limitations and compensations can help reduce the risk of injury during physical activity and sports participation.

  • Improved Functional Mobility: Functional movement screening can help improve your ability to perform everyday tasks and activities with greater ease and efficiency.

Who Can Benefit from Functional Movement Screening?

Functional movement screening is beneficial for individuals of all ages and activity levels, including:

  • Athletes looking to improve their performance and reduce the risk of injury.

  • Active individuals seeking to enhance their movement quality and efficiency.

  • Individuals recovering from injury or surgery who want to regain functional mobility and prevent re-injury.
