Functional Movement Pattern Improvement

Functional Movement Screening uses basic movement patterns to identify muscular imbalances. It involves 7 movement tests that identifies dysfunction or asymmetry in the patient’s functional movements which would need to be corrected through exercises and stretches. Each movement is scored and therefore can be reassessed and compared which can indicate whether the patient is at a higher risk of getting injured.

Our focus is to improve the movement patterns you perform daily to ensure you are confident and comfortable in all areas of movement.

These movements include activities like:

• Squatting: Important for sitting and standing actions
• Lunging: Important for walking, go up or down stairs, getting into a car
• Bending: Important for bending and object lifting actions
• Rotation: Important for turning side to side
• Pulling actions: Important for opening doors
• Pushing actions: Important for moving objects
• Gait: Walking efficiently with balance and coordination
