“Working on any other part of the chain will not change the strength of the chain.” You’re only going to be a good as your weakest link. If you insist on using band-aids and duct tape, don’t be surprised when things start to rip and tear!
“Or, to put it another way, what use is a stronger, more powerful engine, if your wheel is going to fly off at 80 mph?” – Gray Cook MS, PT, OCS, CSCS, RKC
Specifically, the Functional Movement Screen is a ranking and grading system scientifically created to document movement patterns that are key to normal function.
By screening these patterns, you can successfully & quickly identify functional limitations and asymmetries. Basic movement pattern limitations can reduce the effects of functional training, physical conditioning, and distort proprioception (body awareness).
“We now use this program with every player as a pretest and evaluation tool before we even begin to train them. This individualizes our training as we can now focus more on improving weaknesses, imbalances and asymmetries in an effort to improve functional movement patterns.It’s the foundation of our program. Everything we do builds off of it. We wouldn’t think of not using this program.” – John Torine, Head Strength Coach, Indianapolis Colts
At the heart of the system is the Functional Movement Screen Score, which helps target the real problem for any individual and track their progress with real precision. Additionally, the scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns.
This is an amazing tool for anyone who wants to achieve peak performance in their sport of choice, as well as anyone who wants to move and feel the best they possibly can. To set up your Functional Movement Screen, email us at info@kettlebility.com to learn more now!
