Functional Movement Screen comes to Core Sport

Core Sport has implemented FMS screening for all clients!!!

The trainers at Core Sport realize that your body's mechanics are important.  Think about it, everyday tasks would become difficult if you suffered an injury.  You might not be a professional athlete or rescue people from burning buildings but I guarantee someone depends on you and needs you to be healthy and physically capable, not to mention happy and pain free!  Pilates and Functional training are proven to be the most effective and efficient form of exercise now we are just using a measurable tool to track progress and identify problems before they occur.





Lets say you have a car that is about 30 years old and you want to take it for a long drive or enter a race.  Now certainly, you would want to have the car's function checked out.  Air in all the tires, engine working, tires balanced, enough oil, drive train, ect...

Imagine if you didn't get it checked and your car's tires weren't balanced, you're going to find out for sure if there were any underlying issues after driving 200 miles or upping the speed and performing quick turns.  It would likely cost you time, $$, put you further away from your goal and possibly permanent damage.

This is what FMS does for your body!!!
Think of it as a check-up for your body before you take it on a long ride or drive really fast.

Why enter or continue a exercise routine without getting screened?  Why never track exactly how you are progressing functionally?

Sure your general doctor may clear you for exercise but did he actually see your body move or check for asymmetries that could cause injury?


We're not going to halt your exercise unless there is serious concern but we will balance out your tires and check the moving parts first and then give you the appropriate exercises to help you achieve your maximum potential and keep you going the distance and in the race.

This is especially important in our group classes.  As trainers we look at your form everyday when we train you, this will help us give you corrective exercises to each of you specifically even in a group to you help you achieve more results.

The intervention of FMS reduced lost time due to injuries by 62% and the number of injuries by 42% over a twelve month period as compared to a historical control group.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that core strength and functional movement enhancement programs to prevent injuries in workers whose work involves awkward positions is warranted.
