How To Perform A 5-Step Injury-Prevention Screening

Injury prevention has become a passion of mine. so I have been doing presentations to different groups on how to use a screening to identify an injury waiting to happen. We also cover how to address the issue before a problem occurs.

If you’re dealing with an injury, you can request a free consultation with one of Carter Physiotherapy’s physical therapists. We can quickly figure out what’s causing your pain and get you back to the active lifestyle you deserve.

In the videos below, I teach a group of Austin-area personal trainers how to take clients through a 5-step functional movement screening. This evaluation allows them to detect if the client is set up for injury. It also helps them address the issues found or know when the client should be referred to a healthcare professional.

Below are individual videos covering each of the 5 components of the injury prevention screening. If you’d like to see the presentation in its entirety (with the intro, background, and Q&A section click here.)
