Functional Movement Screen
with Dr. Alec Isabeau
The Functional Movement Screen is a reliable test of fundamental movement patterns. These movement patterns are the foundation of essential daily physical activities, such as:
- walking up and down stairs
- lifting and bending
?as well as, complex specialized athletic skills, such as:
- serving a tennis ball or hitting a golf ball
The FMS is designed to reveal:
- deficiencies
- compensation patterns
- imbalances in limb and trunk mobility and stability
It then orients us toward a prioritized prescription of corrective exercises which address these problems.
Performed diligently, corrective exercises improve an individual?s stability, mobility and symmetry. This greatly enhances orthopedic durability and athletic performance. The FMS and corrective exercises are valuable to athletes at all levels of experience and fitness, as well as individuals who are plagued by persistent or recurrent orthopedic conditions such as knee pain, shoulder pain or back pain.
A one-hour appointment is needed to perform the FMS, analyze the data and prescribe the necessary corrective exercises. This service is available to established outpatients and inpatients. The fee is $140.00.
