Functional Movement Screen

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is used by several professional sport organizations such as the NHL, MLB, and NFL to keep their athletes healthy and in the game!

This amazing healthy movement screen is now available at Symetrics!

The FMS is used to evaluate the quality of 7 movement patterns commonly used in sport and fitness in individuals. It is designed to place the athlete in challenging positions to expose movement deficits.

Corrective exercises are then prescribed that improve faulty movement patterns, making the athlete more efficient in their movements, setting the athlete up to better acquire sport skills, and improve fitness performance.

“My experience with the functional movement screen was very beneficial. Vickie used this screen to help identify any areas that may increase my risk of injury. This played a very key role in my recovery journey post spinal stroke. Vickie did an excellent job helping me with agility, gaining strength and improving mobility to ensure I was moving safely while getting back into sport.”
