If you could spend just 12 minutes with a client and know exactly what movements they should be doing, would you invest that time?
In this episode of “Strength Coach Collective,” host Kenny Markwardt is joined by Brett Jones from Functional Movement Systems to discuss how coaches can use the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to help clients train more effectively.
Brett explains how the FMS can be used to identify movement quality, why many injuries stem from poor mechanics rather than overuse and how simple movement corrections can lead to better long-term performance.
The two also discuss the importance of assessing movement before adding load and how to communicate findings with clients.
Tune in to hear practical insights you can apply to your coaching to improve client results while reducing the risk of injury.
