Functional Movement Screens help identify movement limitations before they become painful injuries. At HealthPlus Physical Therapy, our Functional Movement Screens evaluate mobility, balance, flexibility, and stability to reduce injury risk and improve athletic performance.
At HealthPlus Physical Therapy, we use Functional Movement Screens to evaluate how your body moves, helping you prevent injuries, improve performance, and stay active longer.
A Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a series of simple movement tests designed to assess mobility, flexibility, balance, stability, and coordination.
Rather than diagnosing injuries, the screen identifies movement patterns that may place unnecessary stress on your joints and muscles.
An FMS evaluates:
– Mobility
– Stability
– Balance
– Flexibility
– Core control
– Functional movement patterns
Movement patterns change over time due to sports participation, work activities, aging, and previous injuries.
Regular Functional Movement Screens help identify:
– Muscle imbalances
– Poor posture
– Limited mobility
– Weak core stability
– Reduced balance
– Increased injury risk
Finding these problems early allows treatment before pain develops.
Functional Movement Screens are beneficial for:
– Student athletes
– Runners
– Active adults
– Fitness enthusiasts
– Older adults
– Individuals returning after injury
Anyone who wants to move better and reduce injury risk can benefit from periodic screenings.
At HealthPlus Physical Therapy, every Functional Movement Screen is followed by an individualized plan.
Treatment may include:
– Corrective exercises
– Strength training
– Mobility exercises
– Balance training
– Manual therapy
– Movement education
Our goal is to improve movement quality while reducing future injury risk.
Routine screenings can help:
– Detect injury risks early
– Improve athletic performance
– Increase flexibility
– Enhance balance
– Improve posture
– Reduce recurring injuries
– Support long-term mobility
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you:
– Start a new fitness program
– Participate in competitive sports
– Have recurring injuries
– Notice stiffness or poor mobility
– Want to improve performance
– Are returning after an injury
Early assessment helps keep small movement problems from becoming larger injuries.
Functional Movement Screens provide valuable insight into how your body moves. Identifying movement limitations before pain develops allows you to train smarter, recover faster, and reduce your risk of injury.
At HealthPlus Physical Therapy, our team uses evidence-based Functional Movement Screens to develop personalized treatment plans that improve mobility, stability, and overall performance. Investing in regular movement assessments today can help keep you healthy and active for years to come.
