An injury can abruptly and unnecessarily end an athlete's career. As an athlete, wouldn't it be great to know which areas of your body are more susceptible to injury based upon your mechanics of movement? What if there was a way to ensure your future athletic success by learning how to lessen your chances of getting injured? Well, you're in luck. Experts have developed a method that can help determine where your body is more likely to be injured based upon your technique. It's called the Function Movement Screening (FMS). The FMS is a series of 7 tests that examine whole-body movements to determine an athlete's weaknesses. This is the same test that is being performed all around the country at all levels of competition, including within the NFL. Athletic success is like a jigsaw puzzle - all of the pieces need to be available and put together properly for the full picture to be seen. The FMS makes sure all of the pieces are showing.

Maybe you're a superstar on the field or on the court today, but you may have an underlying issue you're not even aware of that could cause problems in your future. You should approach your athletic training like you would approach school. Let's say you've got a textbook with 30 chapters in it and you know your teacher is going to give you a test on the whole book, but is only going to focus on certain chapters. How do you know what to study to make sure you succeed? Do you study all of it or just go in and wing it on the test and hope for the best? The idea is overwhelming, isn't it? But what if the teacher tells you that the test is only going to cover 7 chapters. 7 out of 30, that's not bad, right? Now you just have to figure out which 7 chapters to study, right? That's a little less daunting. But then what if the teacher tells you exactly which 7 chapters you need to know, AND tells you exactly what you need to know out of each chapter in order to ensure you succeed.

The FMS is like that... It helps you understand where your mechanical technique is off. Once those areas are identified is where Explosive Sports Performance comes in. We're like your tutor, taking what the FMS tells you are the chapters you need to study for your test and helping you hone your technique so that you do every movement properly, ever time, ensuring your success and mitigating your chance of injury.
