What is SFMA Level 1?
Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a clinically driven system used to identify movement dysfunction and understand the underlying cause of pain.
It provides a structured process to:
-
assess movement patterns
-
differentiate mobility vs stability/control issues
-
prioritise treatment decisions
-
identify drivers beyond the site of pain
Rather than chasing symptoms, SFMA helps clinicians understand the movement system as a whole.
Why clinicians choose SFMA Level 1
1. A clear system
A repeatable framework to assess movement, rather than relying on guesswork.
2. Clinical clarity
Better distinction between mobility restriction and motor control dysfunction.
3. Confidence in decision-making
Know what to prioritise — and what not to.
4. Immediate application
Use it with patients the next day in clinic.
