How it Works

​

Simplifying Movement

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.

FMS generates Functional Movement, which is used to target problems and track progress. This system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns.

Exercise professionals monitor the FMS screening to track progress and to identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual.

​​FMS has created the first dynamic battery of screens that helps to both prevent non-contact injuries and facilitate more effective training techniques.
