Description
Diagnose with Clarity. Treat with Confidence.
Built for rehabilitation professionals, the SFMA Level 1 Online Course is the gold standard for movement assessment that goes beyond symptoms to uncover the root cause of pain.
Unlike traditional evaluations that focus solely on the site of pain, the SFMA examines how the entire body works together—applying the principle of regional interdependence to uncover hidden contributors to discomfort and injury. It's a structured, repeatable process to systematically break down dysfunctional movement patterns, distinguish between mobility restrictions and motor control issues, and select the right interventions for faster, more effective results.
Leave with the Ability to:
- Diagnose with Precision – Identify the true cause of pain, not just the source.
- Think Beyond the Symptom – Apply the principle of regional interdependence to see the full picture.
- Eliminate Guesswork – Pinpoint mobility vs. motor control limitations with accuracy.
- Choose the Right Intervention – Confidently design treatment plans that work.
- Create Lasting Change – Move beyond temporary fixes to improve long-term quality of life.

Being able to pause, rewind, and rewatch. Being able to follow along with the online book. I also appreciated the "real life" examples and seeing how the instructors explained things to the "patients".

Great material with several good instructors presenting. The additional examples at the end of each section were very helpful. I also enjoyed the online format. The opportunity to start/ stop the lecture, review as needed, and go at my own pace added value to the experience.

I really enjoyed the reasoning behind why the SFMA was created. It was really eye opening to see how one proglem can lead to the other. I wish I could have known the breakouts before my first clinical, but I plan on using this for my future profession of Physical Therapy.
