Lis conducts pre exercise screening of Sarah’s clients to gather information on what is going on in their body and how their body moves. This background information is used as a basis for developing exercise programs or providing written reports for other allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and exercise physiologist. Part of the screening process is a 7 stage functional movement screen (FMS) designed to see how a person’s body moves when performing fundamental movement patterns required to carry out activities of daily living.
