SFMA & FMS Movement Assessments In Richardson
Identify the Root Cause of Pain, Injury, and Performance Limitations
If you’re dealing with pain, recurring injuries, or stalled progress, the most confusing part is knowing what to fix first. You may be told to rest, stretch more, strengthen, or avoid certain activities — yet nothing fully solves the problem.
At On Point Movement & Performance, we use SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) and FMS (Functional Movement Screen) to identify why pain or breakdown is happening — not just where it hurts.
These assessments are structured, movement-based systems designed to evaluate how your body moves, compensates, and handles load. Instead of guessing or relying on generic protocols, we examine mobility, stability, and movement control to uncover the true drivers of dysfunction.
Many injuries persist because the body is compensating elsewhere. Pain might show up in the knee, shoulder, or back, but the root cause often starts in a completely different area. Treating symptoms alone may provide temporary relief, but without correcting faulty movement patterns, problems tend to return.
Our SFMA/FMS assessments are performed one-on-one in an unhurried setting. We take time to listen, assess movement thoroughly, and clearly explain what we find. From there, we build a targeted plan that aligns with your goals — whether that’s returning to sport, lifting, running, or simply moving without pain.
Who Benefits From Movement Assessments
- Athletes with recurring or unresolved injuries
- Active adults dealing with persistent pain

- Anyone who wants clarity before starting treatment
On point has changed my life! I went to them without being able to move my arm! After a few short weeks of shock wave and PT I have full range motion and I’m able to work out again! Truly thankful!
As a Pickleball coach, the treatments have been essential to keeping me on the court Erika and Larry are great. Some of the best services I received for the shockwave treatment for my calf and foot pain as well as the cupping sessions and rehab rehabilitation. They are very knowledgeable
