FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREEN

In most cases, non-surgical treatment options are the solution to ending your pain and bringing you back to a full and healthy life. Dr. Herman will guide you through your best options for treatment, and if surgery or another form of care may be needed, he will refer you to the appropriate provider.
 

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREEN

Functional movement screen (FMS) is a screen of seven movements that we all perform throughout our daily lives. This screening tool is used to identify limitations or asymmetries in fundamental movement patterns that are key to functional movement quality in individuals with no current pain complaint or known musculoskeletal injury. Once identified, faulty patterns can be corrected and movement can become more efficient.

For the athlete, by identifying and correcting weak links in the chain, sports performance is improved. In fact, this screen is performed on all football players at the NFL Scouting Combine.

For the everyday person, getting in and out of a chair more easily or picking up your children more easily can finally be accomplished.

If you’re a coach or involved in a team and would like Dr. Herman to come to you to provide group screenings, please call the office to schedule. Individual appointments at the office may also be scheduled.
