Active Performance Chiropractic LLC is offering a free FMS - TopicsExpress

Active Performance Chiropractic LLC is offering a free FMS (Functional Movement Screen) evaluation to the first 5 people interested. In addition to the screen, one free 30 minute one-on-one Corrective Exercise session will be included. So what is the FMS? (functionalmovement) FMS is the screening tool used to identify limitations or asymmetries in seven fundamental movement patterns that are key to functional movement quality in individuals with no current pain complaint or known musculoskeletal injury. These movement patterns are designed to provide observable performance of basic loco motor, manipulative and stabilizing movements by placing an individual in extreme positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable if appropriate mobility and motor control is not utilized. The number one risk for injury is a PREVIOUS INJURY while the number two is MUSCULAR ASYMMETRY. Asymmetries often develop because of previous injuries and the FMS will help determine where and what you need to correct it. The FMS is utilized by many elite sports programs including the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts and Stanford Football team. These teams have used FMS scores to develop offseason conditioning programs to correct faulty movement patterns found during the FMS. By doing so, they have greatly reduced the number of injuries occurring throughout the season. The FMS is a way of identifying the possible risk of future injury especially in an ACTIVE population. Just because you arent currently in pain, doesnt mean that you arent slowly damaging your body through poor movement patterns. And a fun fact for the day... Peyton Manning is one of the few people who has scored a perfect 21/21 on the FMS.
