SFMA Level 1
The SFMA Level 1 Virtual Certification Course is a 1-day (7-hour) virtual event, where the background, philosophy, evidence, and logic of the assessment model will be covered.
The SFMA provides an efficient method for systematically determining the cause of the patient’s pain, not just the source. The SFMA is a repeatable diagnostic metric that begins with 7 full-body movements, known as the "Top Tier," to determine where further assessment is needed. A common logic is applied to all patterns to break down the movement in a systematic way to reach a movement diagnosis of either mobility or stability/motor control dysfunction.
This virtual certification course will feature live lecture and demonstration with an SFMA instructor. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with instructors and ask questions to ensure they are comfortable integrating the system into their clinical practice.
SFMA Level 1 Online Included
The SFMA Level 1 Online Course introduces you to the SFMA and is a resource prior to attending the event. We strongly recommend viewing the online course prior to your event, but all information will be covered in the live event.

SFMA Level 2
Course Prerequisites: Before attending the SFMA Level 2, you must have previously attended the SFMA Level 1 course.
The SFMA Level 2 Virtual Certification Course is a 1-day (7-hour) virtual event, where we discuss how to prioritize your SFMA findings and apply the 3 R's - Reset, Reinforce, and Retrain
In the virtual course, there will be a focus on interventions designed to complement the SFMA findings. The majority of the course will be dedicated to the demonstration and application of the 4 x 4 exercise matrix and the neurodevelopmental progression it follows. Key motor control-oriented exercise progressions are provided for each top tier movement pattern assessed within the SFMA.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of treatment for Stability and/or Motor Control dysfunctions. Additionally, reset and reinforcement ideas will be discussed to allow the participant to gain a greater understanding of the clinical application of the model.
SFMA Level 2 Online Included
SFMA Level 2 Online is available as a resource prior to attending the virtual event. It is strongly recommended to view the Introduction to Mobility and Motor Learning sections prior to your event. Viewing the Virtual Course Sections in the Online Course is not required. All content will be covered in the virtual event.
