Sneak Peak of this Course!
See what other Professionals are saying about the FMS Level 1 online course!
This is one of the most well done online courses I have ever taken. Your instructions and camera angles never left me wondering "How to?" It is well organized and the case examples are most helpful. It will be challenging to learn to see the whole body perform during the test instead of focusing on one body part, as Lee taught!!

The most valuable part of this course is the fact that it gives us a path to analyze our client's situation and then take a better decision.

The content was explained so clearly. I really appreciate it. I loved having the course online, since I could rewind and re-watch parts I misunderstood.
