Functional Movement Screen

A standardised seven-movement screen with a scoring system, giving trainers a repeatable way to record how a client moves before programming for them.

What it is

A fixed battery of movement patterns β€” squat, hurdle step, lunge, shoulder mobility and others β€” each scored on a simple scale. The value is less in any single score than in having one protocol you run identically on every client, every re-test.

Best for

Trainers who want a baseline that survives being handed to a colleague, and who need something concrete to show a client at week twelve.

Watch out for

The screen identifies movement limitations; it does not diagnose injury and does not predict it reliably. Stay inside your scope, and refer out when a score is telling you something medical.
