What is functional movement screening?

 

Functional movement screening is a type of assessment that is used to evaluate a person's movement patterns and identify any potential areas of weakness or imbalances that may increase their risk of injury. This screening typically involves a series of tests and exercises that are designed to assess the person's overall mobility, stability, and functional movement ability. The results of the functional movement screening can help physical therapists and other healthcare professionals develop a tailored treatment plan to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to the person's risk of injury. This can help prevent injuries and improve the person's overall movement and functional ability.
