Functional Movement Screening $200 (in-person Sandy, Utah)
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is not intended to diagnose orthopedic problems but rather to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement in individuals.
Muscle flexibility, strength imbalances, or compensation due to previous injury are all acknowledged as significant risk factors for injury. In many cases, the FMS will pinpoint these issues that may not be identified in other standard evaluations.
FMS Screenings are safe for any age range- 15-99 years old!
The FMS has proven to be an accurate predictor of future injury in the National Football League (NFL), USA Track and Field, and United States Military. The FMS is being used by many organizations as a gauge for training volumes and sports performance. The FMS holding up on the highest levels of human performance translates amazingly well to the rest of us who want to remain healthy during everyday activities as well as exercise.
Screening includes a 4-week workout program with video demos and a 30-minute check-in
Hip Mobility Exercises
Deep Squat Test
The Deep Squat pattern challenges total body mechanics and neuromuscular control. It tests bilateral, symmetrical, functional mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and ankles. The dowel overhead requires bilateral symmetrical mobility and stability of the shoulders, scapular region, and the thoracic spine. The pelvis and core must establish stability and control throughout the movement to achieve the full pattern.
