Selective Functional Movement
Assessment Seminars

SFMA Certification Course

The SFMA is designed for Medical licensed Professionals who want to implement a movement based approach to treating pain.

The SFMA Certification Course introduces the material for the foundation of the SFMA, The Big 7 movements and breakout assessments. The seminar also includes the introduction to the model of interventions directed towards the findings. At completion of this seminar, the health care professional will be able to evaluate painful movements, determine the source of the pain, and understand the role of manual therapy and neuromuscular exercise techniques to treat the painful condition.

Course Objectives

1. Understand the importance of identifying dysfunctional movement patterns.
2. Understand the importance of pain provocation during the examination process and that pain adversely affects motor control.
3. Immediately apply information gained from the SFMA to select key impairments to address and design appropriate interventions to normalize dysfunctional movement.
4. Describe the importance of assessing movement patterns in both the loaded and unloaded positions and how this information can be used to guide intervention.
5. Link the assessment information to the initial therapeutic strategy and initiate the most appropriate treatment interventions (manual therapy and functional exercise) into the traditional rehabilitation program to normalize dysfunctional movement
