What's the difference between the FMS and the SFMA?
Both look at how people move, but they're built for different people and different jobs.
- FMS screens people who aren't in pain. It checks seven fundamental movement patterns for limitations and asymmetries, so you can make better programming decisions and know when to refer for further assessment.
- SFMA is a clinical assessment for people in pain. It helps healthcare providers find the dysfunction driving the pain and guide treatment.
