Functional Movement Screen Level 2 Certification (FMS Level 1 Prerequisite)
The FMS Level 2 course complements Level 1 and emphasizes the design of personalized programs. First there is a discussion on various aspects of the Functional Movement Screen and common mistakes made during the administration of the test. Then, each trainee proceeds to perform a test while at the same time being the model to be measured by another participant. This process is essential for correcting Functional Movement Screen scores throughout the course.
The next chapter focuses on interpreting the results and learning the algorithms that determine whether someone has limited mobility or limited movement control and dysfunction. During processing, each one of the seven tests is analyzed separately, so that the appropriate exercise can be applied.
The seminar is completely interactive: it goes from the evaluation of the movement, to the demonstration and the execution of the exercises.
For each test that includes FMS Level 2, the sequence of exercises is as follows: mobility, static motor control, dynamic movement control and finally strength.
This sequence of exercises helps determine the exercise program for the trainee and what corrective exercises (if needed) should be incorporated to achieve the best results. Basic corrective interventions in exercises such as “chopping & lifting”, “deadlifting” and “rolling” are also presented. Finally, an exercise program is evaluated in relation to the results of the FMS.
