Inside this resource
Foundational movement principles and the seven patterns
The course opens with the history and rationale behind the FMS before teaching each of the seven fundamental movement patterns: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, rotary stability, and inline lunge. For each pattern, you learn the standardized verbal instructions, correct test administration, and the scoring criteria that capture both mobility and motor control deficits. This structured approach ensures consistent screening across different examiners and settings.
Scoring system and clinical application
Learning to correctly score each test is the skill that separates an informative screen from an uninterpretable one. The course walks you through the scoring criteria for every movement pattern, teaching you to identify the specific mobility or motor control limitation that determines the score. The final chapters translate scoring into action — using your FMS findings to make smart programming choices rather than guessing at exercise selection and progression.
Self-paced access with downloadable resources
Once your purchase is complete, you receive one year of access to the online course. A downloadable manual accompanies the video content, providing a quick-reference resource you can carry into the gym, clinic, or training facility. Email confirmation with access instructions arrives immediately after purchase, so you can begin the course on your own schedule without waiting for physical materials.

Chris R. –
Exactly the foundational course I needed before pursuing advanced movement assessment training. The video demonstrations paired with scoring criteria make the learning process intuitive. Highly recommended for anyone new to the FMS.
Alex T. –
The 19-chapter structure breaks down the FMS into manageable pieces. Learning the scoring criteria was the biggest takeaway — I was under-scoring several patterns before this course. The downloadable manual is a nice bonus.
Michael S. –
This course gave me the confidence to administer the FMS correctly and, more importantly, use the findings to guide exercise programming. The final chapters on using FMS findings for programming decisions are the most practical part.
Diana K. –
Good self-paced introduction to the Functional Movement Screen. The verbal instruction scripts for each test are exactly what I needed for consistent administration. The course moves through the patterns at a comfortable pace.
Jennifer P. –
Solid FMS training that covers all seven movement patterns thoroughly. The deep squat and rotary stability chapters were particularly well-taught. One year of access is generous and allows for review as needed.
Laura H. –
Well-organized course with clear instruction on each movement pattern. I used this to refresh my FMS skills after several years away from systematic movement screening. The programming chapters help connect screening to practical application.
