Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA):
The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The SFMA is intended to diagnose orthopedic problems and determine the involved soft-tissue, joint, and/or motor control dysfunction.
Functional Movement Screen
The FMS consists of a series of seven mobility and stability exercises and three clearing “tests” that will reveal any imbalances in the body. This allows individuals and trainers to become aware of imbalances in movement before beginning a program, so they can first correct it. The FMS is simple and is used by a wide variety of health and fitness professionals. To find a certified expert, simply search the FMS website for professionals in your area.
Training for Life
Functional movement training really has no downside. From enhancing quality of life and preventing injuries, to helping your increase your sport performance and lean out, it really is the best method of training there is.
