Highlights

• A definite movement baseline is necessary in this situation.
• Preference for observing the way an individual is moving presently as opposed to looking at a compiled medical chart.
• FMS uncovers the problems that cause problems.
• It does not make sense to blindly play, train, and/or lift without having standards to forecast durability.
• The FMS is not a performance test-- it separates movement and performance. 
• Corrective mentality vs. conditioning mentality.
• The FMS also identifies individuals in pain (if people are honest).

• Application
• Team Sports
