The Core Training System includes The Functional Movement Screen and corresponding
corrective exercises combine to create a cohesive core training program. This manual is designed to
provide education, research and innovation to sports medicine, athletic training and fitness professionals.
It can be used for physical therapists, strength coaches and athletic trainers working specifically with
competitive athletes as well as personal trainers who will be applying their skills toward improving an
individual’s active lifestyle or fitness goals.
A focal point of this program is that significant limitations or right and left side imbalances exist in some
individuals at very basic levels of movement. These limitations and imbalances should not be overlooked.
The body should be free of restrictions and free of imbalances prior to training, conditioning, competition
and fitness activities. The significant limitations in left-right imbalances drastically distort motor learning,
movement perception, body awareness and mechanics. They rob the body of efficiency and are very often
hidden by those individuals who learn to compensate and substitute with other movement patterns.
It is important to read and understand the science and background section of this manual in order to
appreciate the role movement screens can play in developing a more holistic approach to rehabilitation,
strength and conditioning, and fitness programs. This system was originally developed for the athlete;
however, the personal trainer should be able to easily draw a parallel to the same problems and conditions
confronting the individual interested in fitness. In many situations, the body’s ability to move through its most
basic and fundamental movements goes un-assessed. This is the one common denominator between the
personal trainer, the athletic trainer, the strength and conditioning specialist, the physical therapist and all
other individuals working from rehabilitation through performance enhancement. This is why we feel this
program can serve a wide variety of professionals and in doing so, communicate and reinforce a common
ground and systematic approach that involves new and innovative assessment and corrective exercise
techniques.

• Improves functional and athletic performance
• Helps to reduce the potential for training and sports injuries
• Provides a simple grading system to assess athlete/client movement
• Can be easily utilized in both the athletic/sports medicine and general fitness professionals
• Identifies physical imbalances or weaknesses
• Rehabilitates imbalances and strengthens weaknesses with simple corrective exercises
• Allows trainers to better individualize training programs for greater athlete/client results
• Teaches the trainer and athlete/client to identify the difference between movement quality and movement
quantity
• Allows athletic trainers, strength and conditioning specialists, personal trainers and physical therapists to
identify current injury trends and stats as they relate to the prevention of non-contact injuries.
• Allows trainers to identify potential cause and effect relationships of mirco-trauma as well chronic injuries
in relation to movement asymmetries
