Movement is key to all healing, regardless if you are working with an elite athlete or someone suffering from a car crash.
Functional Movement Techniques (FMT) Certification courses are led by industry leading experts in movement assessment and therapy. FMT courses present a revolutionary way of thinking about how we move and how we injure.
They integrate innovative mobility and stability strategies, along with a movement-based; practical kinesiology taping framework – to deliver RESULTS.
The FMT Series courses are based on the following concepts:
- Movement Pyramid – FMT Courses incorporate movement screening and rescreening as the basis for evaluating the quality of human movement before and after the techniques taught in the course.
- Evidence Informed – FMT Courses are built around the available scientific literature and clinical expertise of our instructors and certified healthcare and fitness professionals.
- Focus on Fascia – FMT Courses have a longitudinal muscle chain approach to understanding movement dysfunction and correction.
- Movement is the key to Learning – FMT Courses are action packed, so come prepared to be MOVED!
The FMT Series certification courses are intended for healthcare professionals, therapists and trainers. CEUs may be offered for DC, ATC, PT, OT, LMT, DVM, Kins and personal trainers – depending on location and class type.
Kinesiology Taping Certifications
FMT Basic
Kinesiology Taping Certification
FMT Basic Kinesiology Taping Certification introduces the evidence based approach to taping for discomfort*, enhancing fluid dynamics, posture, nerve entrapment and scars. FMT Basic is an evidence-informed kinesiology taping course that redefines our understanding of the effects of elastic therapeutic taping on discomfort* mitigation, circulation and proprioception.

FMT Advanced
Kinesiology Taping Certification
FMT Advanced Kinesiology Taping Certification expands on the concepts taught in FMT BASIC and explores enhancing human movement and performance via functional taping methods (movement based). The anatomy and physiology of myofascial lines are covered. Movement screening is used to determine dysfunction in specific anatomical planes of motion and how to apply tape in a manner that improves movement and function.

IASTM & Tool Certifications
FMT Blades
IASTM Certification
FMT Blades IASTM Certification will review screening dysfunctional movement patterns and utilizing soft tissue tools to improve patient treatment with IASTM. The anatomy, physiology and MOST IMPORTANTLY the neurology of myofascial soft tissue work is covered, along with supporting research. IASTM intervention strategies will also be combined with kinesiology taping and corrective exercise techniques to deliver a comprehensive approach to patient care.

FMT Blades Advanced
IASTM Certification
FMT Blades Advanced IASTM Certification introduces the concept of skin/fascial/nerve gliding and neuro-sensory discomfort* modulation via Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. The tools may be hard-edged, but the techniques don’t need to be aggressive to deliver superior patient and client outcomes. The anatomy, physiology and neurology of myofascial soft tissue work is covered, along with a review of the concept of interlayer connective tissue gliding using a rubber sleeve for added tissue traction. FMT Blades Advanced also addresses discomfort* modulation via specific mechano-reception stimulation using the novel hair comb attachment.

FMT RockFloss
Compression Band Certification
FMT RockFloss Certification introduces the concept of skin/fascial/nerve gliding to help reduce tissue swelling, improve movement and modulate discomfort* with the use of ‘compression band floss’.This course will cover the anatomy, physiology and neurology of the effects of compression band flossing on connective tissue gliding, tissue traction and tissue compression.
Interventions with compression band floss (including direction and pressure concepts) will be reviewed and integrated into current rehabilitative concepts. Learn more about FMT RockFloss and view classes in your area!
FMT RockPods
Cupping Certification
FMT RockPods Certification introduces the concept of skin/fascial decompression to help improve tissue mobility, improve movement and modulate discomfort* with the use of myofascial cups. This course will cover the anatomy, physiology and neurology of the effects of myofascial cupping on connective tissue gliding, tissue traction and tissue decompression. Interventions with cupping (RockPods) will be reviewed based on the literature and integrated into current rehabilitative concepts. Learn more about FMT RockPods and view classes in your area!
FMT Vibration Specialist
Vibration-based Therapy Certification
FMT Vibration Specialist amalgamates manual therapy and vibration science to create simple and effective non-opioid, neuro-musculoskeletal (NMSK) treatment and self care programs for the manual and movement therapist as well as the athlete. Discover why using vibration-based therapies are effective interventions for pain management, improving mobility and movement dynamics. A holistic (whole person) approach to movement and functional rehabilitation will be presented to aid in identifying key areas of compromise within the NMSK system. This course is an evidence-informed rehabilitation program that redefines our understanding of the effects of vibration in conjunction with traditional manual therapies (myofascial cupping, local/targeted massage) on pain mitigation, injury recovery/prevention and movement.

Specialized Certifications
FMT Movement Specialist
Movement Assessment Certification
The “FMT Movement Specialist” Certification will provide attendees an integrated strategy for movement assessment, correction and programming. This course addresses multiple considerations that affect our ability to move including the psychological, neurological, motor, connective tissue systems, environment and personalities of our patients and clients.
Movement efficiency and variability will be emphasized as key components to assessment and programming goals. Learn more about FMT Movement Specialist and view classes in your area!
FMT Mobility Specialist
Mobility Specialist Certification
FMT Mobility Specialist Course is an evidence-informed self-myofascial rolling course that advances students’ understanding of mobility techniques for their patient’s and client’s needs. FMT Mobility Specialist offers a practical framework and a systematic approach for determining why, how, when and where to roll for movement preparation, movement recovery or pain relief. Assessment systems will be presented examining concepts of joint by joint mobility, stability and fascial integrity. These systems will be utilized to direct fun and innovative lab experiences throughout the course.
Assessment systems will be presented examining concepts of joint by joint mobility, stability and fascial integrity. Learn more about FMT Mobility Specialist and view classes in your area!

We base our training & education on four key principals
Movement Pyramid
All courses incorporate screening movement as the basis for making changes with the techniques taught in the course.
Evidence Informed
We only promote what has been clinically proven. The insert-to-origin method is interesting but the science does not back it up. What has been proven is that kinesiology tape helps promote lymphatic flow.
Fascia
Focus on Fascia with a longitudinal muscle chain approach to understanding movement. Movement and faults must be understood as part of a system.
Fun & Discovery
We don’t do anything like everyone else. We want our courses to be fun. When you’re having fun, you’re engaged – and when you’re engaged, you learn.
