Functional Movement Screening and the Root Cause of Pain

When something hurts, it is easy to focus only on the painful spot. The trouble is that the source of pain is often somewhere else in the body. Functional movement screening helps find that source so treatment addresses the real problem, not only the symptom.

What functional movement screening is

A movement screen looks at how your body performs basic patterns like bending, rotating, and reaching. Dr. Madigan is certified in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, known as SFMA. This system breaks movement into clear parts so limits in mobility or control become easy to see.

Why the source of pain matters

Stiff hips can lead to low back pain. Limited shoulder motion can strain the neck. When care only chases the sore area, symptoms tend to return. Screening your movement helps explain why the pain started and what needs to change to keep it away.

From assessment to a clear plan

Once the screen highlights the areas to address, your plan may include chiropractic care, soft tissue work, and specific corrective exercises. Each step is chosen to restore quality movement, not just to loosen a tight muscle for a day.
