Discover the Root Cause. Move Better. Perform Better.

At Fortify Chiropractic and Sports Rehab, our Functional Evaluation is the foundation of effective, personalized care. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or striving to improve athletic performance, our detailed assessments help us identify the underlying issues limiting your movement and causing discomfort.

We don’t just treat symptoms, we find and fix the cause.

​

What Is a Functional Evaluation?

A Functional Evaluation is a comprehensive, movement-focused assessment that analyzes how your body moves, stabilizes, and compensates. It goes beyond traditional exams to look at real world movement patterns, pinpointing imbalances, weaknesses, restrictions, or faulty mechanics that can contribute to pain or limit performance.

During your evaluation, our providers assess:

  • Posture and alignment

  • Joint range of motion

  • Muscle strength and activation

  • Movement quality and control

  • Balance and stability

  • Functional movement patterns (e.g., squatting, lunging, reaching)

This holistic approach ensures your care plan addresses the actual causes of pain or dysfunction, not just the symptoms.

​

Who Needs a Functional Evaluation?

Functional evaluations are valuable for:

  • Athletes looking to optimize performance or reduce injury risk

  • Patients with chronic or recurring pain

  • Individuals recovering from surgery or injury

  • Anyone with limited flexibility or stiffness

  • Active adults wanting to move better and age well

  • Pregnant and postpartum patients adjusting to body changes

If you want to move with confidence and freedom, a functional evaluation is the first step.

​

Our Approach at Fortify Chiropractic

At Fortify Chiropractic and Sports Rehab, your Functional Evaluation isn’t a box to check, it’s the key to your success. Our sports chiropractic background means we don’t just look at isolated joints, but at how your whole body moves together.

Your evaluation may include:
