FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT

Functional Movement Screening Certified.

  • Functional Movement Screening - The Functional Movement Screen uses seven movement tests that require a combination of mobility and stability to expose weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries and limitations within basic movement patterns. This screening is useful in prolonging quality of life and recovery from injury in non-athletes or improving performance, strength, and skill during athletic activities. UWG students, faculty, staff, and community: $30

  • Motor Control Screening - The Motor Control Screen quarters the body to assess how well an individual can stabilize, balance, and control movement in each limb of the upper and lower body. This screening determines an individual's fitness/capacity for activity by measuring dysfunction, and setting a baseline to measure actionable changes in motor control quickly and reliably. UWG students, faculty, staff, and community: $25
  • Modified Functional Movement Screening - this screening is designed for people who need a less demanding movement screen to vet mobility and functional motor control like the elderly, rehabilitation, or sedentary populations. UWG students, faculty, staff, and community: $25

After completing the screening, your trainer will give clients a personalized set of corrective movements to work on for a selected amount of time, determined case by case. After working on these corrective movements, the client returns for reassessment to gauge improvement. If movement patterns show improvement, the trainer can move to the next most pressing issue learned through the screening in mobility, motor control, or functional patterns that needs attention.
