Selective Functional Movement Assessment

A Selective Functional Movement Assessment serves as a diagnostic tool to identify the cause of musculoskeletal disorders when pain is present.

Identifying Faulty Movement Patterns Causing Pain

The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) targets the underlying dysfunctional movement patterns that trigger pain. By performing specific movements, symptoms are displayed, which brings to light any limitations and dysfunctions. By detecting dysfunctions in movement patterns, this enables the development of a treatment plan aimed at restoring pain-free movement and function.

Discover Your Dysfunctions & Regain Mobility

The SFMA incorporates various movement patterns, including bending, twisting, and reaching, to assess a patient’s musculoskeletal issues comprehensively. An observational gait analysis is often included to evaluate the patient’s walking or running pattern, detect any abnormalities, and identify imbalances that could contribute to their condition. This analysis examines the biomechanics of human movement, analyzing step length, foot strike, stride duration, and joint angles, among other factors. By examining these different movement patterns, the SFMA can provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s overall movement quality and identify areas of weakness or dysfunction that need to be addressed to restore pain-free movement and function.

Corrective Strategy

The treatments following an SFMA will depend on the specific dysfunctions identified in the movement patterns. Treatment plans can include a combination of corrective therapies to address the underlying issues. The goal is to improve stability, mobility, and motor control to alleviate pain, prevent future injuries, and enhance overall physical performance. The treatment approach will be tailored to the individual’s unique needs and goals to achieve the best possible outcome.

Say Goodbye to Chronic Pain with SFMA

Our trained SFMA Professionals can guide patients towards a healthy movement lifestyle free of pain. They will work to fully restore the patient’s movement capabilities.
