Movement Assessment

The course helps practitioners identify why an exercise breaks down and how to correct it. Participants reported a clearer understanding of how to connect movement assessment to programming. The limitation of focusing solely on movement applies to all movement-focused assessment systems, not only FMS and SFMA. Serratus anterior work should be based on thorax shape and missing dynamics rather than assuming more serratus is always better. Front-foot-elevated and rear-foot-elevated split squats are presented as ways to bias different pelvic strategies. Different practitioners can use different interventions when they share the same assessment, intent, and desired movement outcome. Standing shoulder flexion is preferred over hooklying shoulder flexion because compensations are easier to observe online. Movement assessment captures only one dimension of a person's clinical picture. Shoulder internal rotation remains an unresolved remote assessment problem. The assumption that a specific movement limitation maps predictably to a specific outcome or diagnosis does not hold given human complexity. Without assessment, manual work may still help, but its odds and rationale are weaker. Onlin…
