Selective Functional Movement Assessment Level 1 (Functional Movement Systems)

AECC to host Functional Movement Systems

The SFMA Level 1 seminar includes both a 5 hour online prerequisite course, as well as a 2-day live event, where the background, philosophy, evidence, and logic of the model will be covered. 

The SFMA provides an efficient method for systematically determining the cause of the patient’s pain, not just the source.  The SFMA is a repeatable diagnostic metric which begins with 7 full-body movements, known as the “Top Tier,” to determine where further assessment is needed.  A common logic is applied to all patterns to break down the movement in a systematic way to reach a movement diagnosis of either mobility or stability/motor control dysfunction.

Most of the live portion of the SFMA seminar is spent in practical sessions.  Participants are taught the assessment criteria and have ample to practice and opportunities to ask questions to ensure they are comfortable integrating the system immediately into their clinical practice.
