Your journey into movement begins here. Movement is the universal language of human expression. Understanding the how and why of moving well helps us aspire to move often. Welcome to the Movement Experience.

FMS uses objective and validated standards to check the movement baseline and build foundations for lifelong movement success. Therefore, certified professionals can discover the best opportunities to improve movement and identify how to train with purpose and precision in order for individuals to achieve their fitness, sports performance or return from injury goals.

• Identify movement patterns that support work, sports, and daily activities.
• Recognize the true relationship that movement patterns play in our health and fitness goals.
• Describe principles to support the importance of movement screening.
• Explain the role of mobility, motor control, and functional patterns in fundamental movement.
• Identify correct screening techniques and common mistakes.
• Use the scoring criteria for consistent and reliable screening results.
• Develop programing using the FMS as an objective filter and feedback tool.
• Explain the purpose and application of corrective exercise based on screening results.

Functional Movement Screen Level 2 course are approved up to 22 ACSM CECs (22 contact hours).

Level 1 online – 2.63 hrs

Level 1 Live – 19 hrs

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Level 2 Course provides an opportunity to take results from the FMS and apply program design and exercise selection to improve your client’s fundamental movement baseline. The Level 2 seminar will begin with an in-depth look at how to perform the movement screen and apply the scoring criteria correctly for best results. Then we will discuss how to interpret results from the FMS, decide what your training priorities are based on those results, and teach exercise applications and techniques to improve your clients training results.

The seminar will cover key concepts to understanding movement competency and its impact on exercise programming. There will be a highly interactive discussion and hands-on training opportunity to demonstrate key strategies and techniques used to improve movement patterns that have been identified by the FMS algorithm as a weak link.

• Apply the Functional Movement Screen testing procedures and scoring criteria accurately and efficiently to deliver the best results.
• Identify common mistakes made when performing the FMS.
• Interpret the scoring results and select the correct movement training priority using the FMS Algorithm.
• Develop exercise selection and programming by using the FMS as an objective filter and feedback tool.
• Categorize movement health, movement competency and movement performance more effectively.
• Describe the role of mobility, motor control, and functional loading in fundamental movement.
• Apply specific mobility and motor control strategies to improve the correctly identified movement limitation.
• Analyze case studies that consider the client’s goals, FMS scoring results, program design, and exercise selection.
• Provide tools to enhance communication with clients using FMS to achieve goals and long-term success.
• Develop a plan for new client business and client retention using FMS and its unique approach to navigate individual and group programs.

Functional Movement Screen Level 2 course are approved for up to 12 ACSM CECs (12 contact hours).
