For clinicians interested in SFMA

SFMA Level 1 — (2026)

If you were interested in SFMA Level 1 previously, this is your opportunity to register early interest for the next Australia course.

We’re planning the next intake. Register your interest to receive early access when dates are confirmed.

You showed interest before — is now the right time?

We’re now assessing demand for the next course in 2026.

 

If timing, availability, or priorities have shifted, this is a simple way to indicate whether you’d still consider attending.

 

This helps determine whether Adelaide will run again — and ensures you’re first to know when it does.

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.

SFMA Level 1 — 2026

We are planning the next SFMA Level 1 course for 2026.

 

Submitting an expression of interest:

  • helps confirm whether the course will run

  • ensures you receive early access to registration

  • allows you to secure a place before public release

 

This is not a commitment — just an indication of interest.
