The Functional Movement Screen(FMS) is an innovative system used to evaluate movement pattern quality for clients or athletes.

FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. A screening tool such as this offers a different approach to injury prevention and performance predictability. When used as a part of a comprehensive assessment, the FMS will lead to individualized, specific, functional recommendations for physical fitness protocols in athletic and active population groups.

The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns.
