Mikaila Foster from Movement X Physical Therapy will be offering FREE Movement Screen Physical Assessments for those who want to track their progress.
The Movement Screen Physical is a series of functional movement tests that provide healthcare clinicians with an overall glimpse into your health and wellbeing. The exam will begin with a questionnaire, designed to identify areas you and your provider might want to further explore. Then you will complete a physical exam. Each test is evidence based, proven to be correlated with and potentially predictive of major health events, such as cardiovascular disease, likelihood of falling, maintaining physical independence, and all-cause mortality. All tests will be compared to age and gender matched norms and aggregate scoring is provided at the end of each examination.
