Beyond the Standard FMS: How Ramin’s Assessments Go Deeper

A Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a great starting point for understanding how your body moves. It includes seven basic tests designed to identify mobility and stability limitations. While the FMS is useful, it offers only a surface-level snapshot of your movement.

For many people, that’s not enough. Real progress — especially when pain, imbalance, or poor posture are involved — requires a more detailed look at how your body works in daily life, not just during those seven exercises.

That’s where Ramin’s advanced approach to functional movement screening in Los Angeles comes in.

What Makes Ramin’s Assessments Different

The FMS was built for quick assessment. Ramin’s approach is designed for precision and long-term insight. His process goes deeper by examining every major joint, tracking posture in real life, and connecting movement patterns across the body.

Each screening includes:

  • The Rectify Posture Tracker — a small wearable device that monitors posture throughout the day. This data reveals how your spine and shoulders behave during real movement, not just controlled exercises.
  • Joint-by-Joint Mobility Testing — a full body mobility assessment that checks every joint from your ankles to your neck, identifying where movement is restricted or overcompensated.
  • Foot Arch and Gait Analysis — assessing how your feet interact with the ground, which influences everything from hip alignment to shoulder tension.
  • Pelvic and Rib Cage Alignment Review — detecting how your breathing, posture, and core stability connect.
  • Jaw and Visual Testing — evaluating how head and eye alignment affect balance and coordination.

The goal isn’t to collect random data. It’s to understand the whole system and identify how one small restriction can affect performance across your entire body.

The Power of Posture Tracking

Posture changes constantly — when you sit, walk, train, or even breathe. Traditional assessments only capture a single moment, which can miss what’s really happening during your day.

The Rectify Posture Tracker fills that gap. Over several days, it collects thousands of data points showing how your alignment shifts in real time. This makes Ramin’s assessment not just an evaluation, but a living record of your body’s habits.

It’s also why results from this screening are so actionable. Instead of a one-time score, clients walk away with clear feedback on what to correct and exercises that target their specific weaknesses.

From Data to Real-World Change

Understanding your movement patterns is only the beginning. The true value comes from translating those insights into training that restores balance, strength, and efficiency.

Once your posture data and mobility findings are reviewed, Ramin designs a training plan tailored to your exact needs. This includes:

  • Corrective exercises for weak or underactive areas
  • Mobility drills for restricted joints
  • Stability training to reinforce new movement patterns
  • Breathing and coordination work to integrate everything together

This process ensures that every exercise you perform supports structural balance rather than reinforcing bad habits.

Why Precision Matters for Long-Term Results

The difference between a standard FMS and an advanced screening like Ramin’s comes down to depth and direction.

The standard FMS gives you a quick overview. Ramin’s process gives you a blueprint. By combining technology, observation, and hands-on testing, he identifies patterns most systems overlook — the subtle compensations that build up over years of repetitive movement.

This precision helps clients:

  • Move with greater ease and awareness
  • Reduce chronic tension and discomfort
  • Build balanced strength across the entire body
  • Train smarter, not harder

For anyone searching for posture tracker Los Angeles or full body mobility assessment, this is the next level of movement analysis — one that actually translates into measurable improvement.
