Functional Movement Screening
The Screening Process: Core Elite Trainers, Physical Therapists,
and Integrative Practitioners screen for pre-program risk factors to
determine how you should start any exercises program. Whether
you are an elite athlete, weekend warrior, or new to exercise at
any stage in your life, we perform a Functional Movement
Screening to measure imbalances and dysfunction in your body
and then use the data as part of the schedule-of-training criteria.
In all training environments, we have to keep our clients in the
right anatomical balance to exponentially increase exercise
intensity—the Functional Movement Screening is our best tool for
predicting injury risk before a client gets sidelined. In our Outdoor
Fit Lab, it is used to identify mobility and stability issues and it
guides the transition to increased levels of training.
When movements aren’t clean, it’s a red flag
that gains our attention every time.
The Functional Movement Screening
establishes a movement baseline. If our pre-
training screening uncovers pain, you will be
recommended to one of our Integrative
Practiotioners, who will perform a clinical
evaluation. The system allows pain or dysfunction
to split the decision process into clinical evaluation,
bodywork assessment, acupuncture assessment, or
simple corrective exercise based on the observed
pattern dysfunction. The rehab specialist pinpoints the
potential problem and clears it, thus reducing the risk of injury.
There’s no question that the Functional Movement Screening is a
serious biomarker of client program success.
Measuring and tracking your path to great health!
A Functional Movement Screen allows us to create a corrective
exercise strategy for movement patterns that are dysfunctional
and also allow exercises that are not compromised by pain or
dysfunction.
