A tool that identifies imbalances in mobility and stability in seven fundamental movement patterns.
Can identify compensation patterns over time. These compensations/aberrations in movement patterns lead to tissue and mechanical breakdown in the kinetic chain causing inefficiency and micro trauma during activity.
Creates a functional baseline to mark progress, improves functional fitness and athletic performance.
Helps to reduce the potential for training and sports injuries, identifies physical imbalances, limitations, and weaknesses.
Will improve fundamental movement patterns with simple corrective exercises and helps us to individualize training programs for individuals and or groups/teams.
Works to identify potential cause and effect relationships of micro-trauma as well as chronic injuries in relation to movement asymmetries and weakness.

Normal pain-free movement is based on fundamental movement patterns with correct amounts of mobility and stability within a given movement.
When in pain, the body will drift to patterns of movement in the company of weakness, tautness or structural abnormality leading to protective movement patterns.
This leads to decreased ROM (range of motion), strength, muscle length (sarcomere change), and potential injury.
Isolated or regional approach to dysfunction will not restore total functional movement or strength.
Requires a series of tests for those dysfunctional joints to find the root cause and treatment strategy.
Is an evidence-based system to address regional interdependence.
Is a system designed to capture impaired posture and functional movement patterns.
It's an assessment system which provides orderly and repeatable clinical process with respect to functional movement assessment and intervention.
Is a system that looks at fundamental movement and the effects on the client's main symptom.
It derived from the FMS and full body movements.
The test captures seemingly unrelated impairments in movement patterns and relates them to the main musculoskeletal diagnosis contributing to the primary complaint (regional interdependence).
