Functional Movement Screen and Training
- Would you like to dramatically improve your explosive speed and change direction faster and more efficiently?
- Are you interested in decreasing your risk of non contact sports injuries?
- Do you want to play with a competitive edge?
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) by Gray Cooke PT is an objective performance test used to identify problematic muscle imbalances, joint mechanical deficiencies and functional performance inadequacies. The goals of the screen and subsequent training are to optimize your sports performance and eliminate non contact injuries caused by musculoskeletal deficiencies.
The 3 basic steps include:
- Seven fundamental movement patterns are evaluated and scored.
- Corrective exercises are formulated based on individual test results.
- Training can be implemented on an individual basis as well as in small groups or for entire sport teams.
The NFL will be utilizing the FMS on their Football players during the 2010 preseason!
