Functional Movement Screening in League City

Are you ready to unlock the secrets of your body’s movement and take a proactive step towards optimal health? Let’s dive into the world of Functional Movement Screening (FMS) at Pharaoh Health and Rehab, where we’re revolutionizing the way we approach wellness and injury prevention.

 

What is Functional Movement Screening?

Functional Movement Screening is like a fitness detective for your body. It’s a comprehensive evaluation system designed to uncover hidden weaknesses, imbalances, and potential injury risks in your movement patterns. Think of it as a full-body check-up, but instead of just lying on a table, you’ll be moving through a series of simple yet revealing exercises.

 

Here’s what makes FMS so special:

  1. It’s proactive, not reactive – we catch issues before they become problems.
  2. It’s comprehensive – we look at your body as a whole, not just individual parts.
  3. It’s personalized – your screening results are unique to you.
  4. It’s empowering – you’ll gain insights into your body that you’ve never had before.

FMS vs. Traditional Assessments

 

You might be wondering how Functional Movement Screening differs from traditional posture or spinal screenings. While those assessments have their place, FMS takes a more dynamic and comprehensive approach:

  1. Dynamic vs. Static: Traditional screenings often look at your body in a static position. FMS evaluates how you move, providing a more realistic picture of your body’s function.
  2. Whole-Body Approach: Instead of focusing solely on the spine or posture, FMS looks at how your entire body works together.
  3. Functional Focus: FMS assesses movements that relate directly to daily activities and athletic performance.
  4. Predictive Power: FMS can often predict potential injury risks before symptoms appear, allowing for truly preventative care.
