Endorsement
“The Functional Movement Screen has allowed me to observe problematic movement patterns and have viable solutions to correct/improve them. It allows the conditioning specialist an opportunity to get an accurate snapshot of our clients to develop an individualized program design…to access and address.”

Functional Movement Screening and Corrective Exercies Strategies Program Description
This course is the product of years of research and innovation. The philosophy develops exercise programs based on individual movement patterns. It is equally effective in rehabilitation as well as conditioning because it targets the weak link.
Specifically, the Functional Movement Screen is a grading system created to assess and document functional movement patterns. By assessing these patterns, functional limitations and asymmetries are readily identified. 
Basic movement pattern limitations can reduce the effects of functional training and distort proprioception. The goal of this workshop is to introduce you and your staff to the benefits of utilizing this orthopedic screening process since functional movement patterns are the base for core training. At the heart of the system are the Functional Movement Screen score and the movement patterns, which are directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns.
Benefits of the Core Training System
- Improves functional and athletic performance
- Helps to reduce the potential for training and sports injuries
- Provides a simple grading system to assess athlete/client movement
- Can be easily utilized in both the athletic/sports medicine and general fitness professionals
- Identifies physical imbalances or weaknesses
- Rehabilitates imbalances and strengthens weaknesses with simple corrective exercises
- Allow trainers to better individualize training programs for greater athlete/client results
- Teaches the trainer and athlete/client to Identify the difference between movement quality and movement quantity.
- Allows athletic trainers, strength and conditioning specialist , personal trainers and physical therapists to identify current injury trends and stats as they relate to the prevention of non-contact injuries.
- Allows trainers to Identify potential cause and effect relationships of mirco-trauma as well chronic injuries in relation to movement asymmetries.
