FMS Athlete/Player Assessment

Our FMS workshops aim is to assess individual athletes/player’s movement patterns, imbalances or asymmetries. We use the Functional Movement Screen test to assess seven basic movement patterns to identify tightness and weakness within the body.
The FMS helps identify muscle asymmetries, tightness, weakness and other risk factors for injury by examining the mobility and stability of the hips, core, shoulders, knees, spine and ankles.

Coach the Coaches (Club)

This workshop is aimed at clubs to help coach the coaches to screen their athletes. We use the FMS protocol by teaching 7 of the basic movement pattern screens.
Its main purpose is to seek out poor movement patterns so you can retrain the body to move in the most stable, efficient way possible.

Athlete/Player Developmental Sessions

Every athlete and player deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. To achieve these desired outcomes a person needs expert advice and guidance. At Health & Fitness Ireland we intent to design an individual specific programme focusing on the needs of the athlete/player. After screening, we will look at movement mechanics with an initial emphasis on mobility and stability. Next will come the needs of the person in relation to their specific sports needs e.g. speed and agility for team sport attacking players.
