Excel Physical Therapy will provide a free Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to all members in attendance.  The FMS was developed by a physical therapist, Gray Cook, and athletic trainer, Lee
Burton to identify limitations and inefficient movement patterns. It is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function.  The screen consists of seven movements which combine coordination, mobility and stability. As the client is put through these movement patterns, asymmetries and limitations are easily identified. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness.  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.  Corrective Strategies - The FMS can be applied at any fitness level, simplifying corrective strategies of a wide array of movement issues. It identifies specific
exercises based on individual FMS scores to instantly create customized treatment plan.

FMS Benefits:

- Discover hidden weaknesses
- Prevent injury and promote durability
- Build balanced fitness
- Magnify fitness potential
- Creates a functional baseline to mark progress

- Provides a means to measure performance
 

Exercise professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and to identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual.
