Selective Functional Movement Assessment

A selective functional movement assessment(SFMA) is a test which helps determine where, how, and why your movement patterns have been altered. Faulty movement patterns tend to develop throughout our lifetimes due to things like injury, posture, lack of movement. These faulty movement patterns are often the cause of injury, pain, and tightness. Once identified, we will use a combination of chiropractic, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise to restore proper, natural movement. This service is extremely effective at preventing injury as well as for post-injury and chronic pain and tightness. SFMA is highly recommended for athletes to reduce their risk of injury as well as increase their performance.
