Functional Movement Screening (FMS)

What is Functional Movement Screening And What Does It Do ?

Now Available At New Age Physiotherapy In Austral*

Our Sydney Physiotherapists are now certified with the FMS level 1 and 2 qualifications. Which means all clients now have access to a functional testing screen to highlight movement dysfunction as well deploying the latest rehabilitation exercises to help to ‘move well or move often.’ The Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during seven fundamental movements. The screening tool is designed to identify compensatory movement patterns that are indicative of increased injury risk and inefficient movement that causes reduced performance. *Claimable under health fund rebates and care plans

Who Is Functional Movement Screening Meant For?

  • All sporting athletes who want to get more performance
  • Anyone who likes health and fitness
  • Anyone who just want to move better and not be in pain
 We can make you better, faster and stronger by following the FMS performance pyramid. Call us today for FMS assessment with our movement specialist team. Phone: 02 9606 8258 or book online for your Functional Movement Screening Services.

What Will You Gain With Functional Movement Screening?

Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a vital assessment tool used to identify movement limitations, muscular imbalances and potential injury risks before they develop into chronic issues. The New Age Physiotherapy team uses FMS to establish a baseline of how your body moves, helping us personalise your treatment and training strategies to improve both performance and overall physical health. Whether you’re an athlete, a fitness enthusiast or someone looking to prevent injury during daily activities, FMS offers clear benefits for long-term mobility and wellness. The screening involves a series of standardised tests that assess how your body performs basic movement patterns such as squats, lunges and shoulder mobility. These tests highlight areas of dysfunction or instability, allowing our physiotherapists to tailor corrective exercises and therapy based on your specific needs. The benefits of FMS, include:
  • Early detection of imbalances: FMS identifies poor movement patterns before they lead to injury. This is especially important for people returning from injury or surgery, helping them rebuild movement safely.
  • Enhanced athletic performance: By correcting faulty movement patterns, athletes can optimise their form and function, resulting in greater strength, balance and efficiency in their sport.
  • Injury prevention: Many injuries stem from repetitive stress or compensatory movement. Functional movement screening helps us address the root cause, significantly reducing the chance of re-injury or flare-ups.
  • Improved mobility and stability: Targeted interventions based on your screening results work to restore joint mobility and muscular stability, two essential components for pain-free movement.
  • Personalised training plans: FMS results are used to develop customised exercise programs tailored to your body’s needs, ensuring you train smarter and safer.
 FMS is a powerful diagnostic tool that lets us treat you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Our physiotherapists are highly trained in analysing these movement patterns and creating evidence-based plans that align with your goals, whether that’s preventing injury, enhancing sport performance or simply moving through life with more ease and confidence.

What Happens After The FMS?

Once your screen is complete, we will:
  • Explain your score and movement patterns
  • Highlight specific areas needing improvement
  • Design a personalised corrective exercise plan
  • Track progress with follow-up screens
Your plan might include strength training, mobility work, stretching, manual therapy or Clinical Pilates — whatever your body needs to move freely and efficiently.
