What are SFMA & FMS?

Every body tells a story through movement, and Selective Functional Movement Assessment and Functional Movement Screen help us read yours. These screenings reveal the hidden compensations and dysfunctions that turn into tomorrow's pain problems. Pain-free? FMS shows us the weak links before they break. Already hurting? SFMA maps out exactly which movement patterns are keeping you stuck.

Your ankle sprain from three years ago might seem like ancient history, but your body is still limping in ways you don't even notice. Those subtle compensations compound over time, creating new restrictions and imbalances that eventually demand your attention through pain. We all develop these dysfunctional patterns—it's just how bodies adapt to stress, injury, and repetitive demands.

The beauty of these assessments lies in their precision. Instead of guessing what might be wrong, Dr. Conley can pinpoint your specific movement breakdowns and track your progress with follow-up screenings. Generic rehab protocols fail because they ignore your unique dysfunction patterns. When treatment isn't tailored to your actual problems, research shows you're looking at a 60% re-injury rate.

Here's the reality: movement problems don't announce themselves with pain until they're already well-established. Elite athletes and weekend warriors use these screenings proactively, identifying and correcting issues while they're still fixable rather than waiting for their body to force the conversation through injury.
