What Is a Functional Assessment? Green Bay Corrective Exercise Specialist Glen Gadwood Explains

What actually happens during a functional assessment? In this video, Glen Gadwood walks through the process Function Thru Fitness uses to determine how a client's body stabilizes itself with movement, featuring corrective exercise specialist Billy Jo Collette as the demonstration client. The assessment starts with a full postural check, comparing shoulders, head, hands, hips, feet, ankles, and knees from one side of the body to the other. From there, a hands-overhead squat test shows which muscles are stabilizing the joints correctly and which ones are tight or underactive, whether that's a collapsed arch, a knee buckling in, or a shift in the hips. The assessment finishes with a gait analysis to complete the full picture. Together, these three pieces show exactly where someone is weak, where they're tight, and how to build the most effective plan for moving efficiently and pain-free.
