What is FMS Testing?

Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Testing at SESC Sports Medicine Center is a standardized movement assessment used to evaluate how well the body performs fundamental movement patterns.

The test identifies movement limitations, mobility restrictions, muscle imbalances, and stability deficits that may increase the risk of injury or limit athletic performance.

FMS focuses on movement quality rather than strength or endurance, helping professionals detect underlying issues before they lead to injuries.

Who Needs FMS Testing?

  • Athletes of all sports
  • Individuals starting fitness or training programs
  • People with a history of recurrent injuries
  • Athletes returning to sport after injury
  • Individuals experiencing movement limitations
  • Youth athletes developing movement skills
  • People seeking injury prevention strategies
  • Athletes aiming to improve performance efficiency
  • Individuals undergoing rehabilitation programs
  • Anyone seeking better movement quality and body mechanics
