With this said, the current movement is to get fit, loose weight and be active. Maybe this statement is the reason why the process of getting fit is causing issues that cause you to stop and revert to old ways. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a 10 minute screen and is comprised of 7 movements and is not a medical diagnostic test.
It is strictly used as a guide/tool to make a person aware of movement dysfunctions and how current/future activities could lead to an increase chance of injury or a decreased performance.Again this is not a diagnostic tool used for treatment of ailments. The results of the screen can only be used as a general guideline for future exercise/activity limits and outcomes.
The FMS is used to assess functional movement patterns while a patient is PAIN FREE. If you are experiencing pain at this time the screen cannot be performed and it is recommended that you seek the advice of a health care professional for a complete evaluation of your pain. With the movement systems approach another set of tests, Selective Functional Movement Assessment, will further evaluate and treat painful areas.
