FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENING The Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during seven functional movement patterns.

The idea is to individualize each workout program based on the person’s weak link with attempts to alleviate them by assigning corrective exercises.

When this is accomplished, the individual will have greater movement efficiency, which will lead to improved performance and hopefully a decrease in injury potential.

To get your Functional Movement Screening, contact YMCA Healthy Living Coordinator Krystal Clark in the Wellness Center or email her at Krystal@saymca.org.
