The FMS is comprised of seven movement tests that require a balance of mobility and stability. many people are able to preform a wide range of activities, yet are unable to efficiently execute the movements in the screen. Those individuals who score poorly on the screens are using compensatory movement patterns and if they continue lead to poor biomechanics and future injury. The FMS screen brings these faulty movements to light, allowing us to prevent the possibility of future injury before occurrence.
The SFMA is a comprehensive movement screen assessment used to classify movement patterns and direct manual therapy and therapeutic exercise techniques. The assessment helps identify individual movement pattern deficiencies and the provocation of pain within movement patterns that is unique to each individual.
At Behm Muscle & Joint Clinic we believe that “movement is medicine” if you are loading tissues in a faulty movement pattern the intervention used to correct these constant faulty loading patterns begins with utilizing these screens to determine the faulty pattern and then using our in office manual therapy and corrective exercise techniques teach the patient the proper movements to eliminate the patterns causing pain.
