At Fluid Health and Fitness, we believe that structure dictates function.
Before we layer on strength, endurance, or speed, we make sure the body’s foundation — posture, breathing, and force control — is solid.

Your Core | 6 Movement Assessment is the starting point of that process.
It’s where we scientifically measure how well your body handles the demands of real-world movement.

Here’s exactly what you can expect from your Core | 6 experience at Fluid.

Why We Test Movement First

You can’t condition dysfunction.
If your posture, breathing, or joint loading is compromised, intense training will only reinforce faulty patterns and raise your risk of injury.

The Core | 6 Assessment allows us to:

• Detect postural imbalances and mechanical inefficiencies early.

• Identify neuromuscular limitations that restrict performance.

• Build a personalized correction plan that primes your body for sustainable strength, endurance, and resiliency.

At Fluid, it’s simple:

Fix the structure. Then condition it.

Step-by-Step: Your Core | 6 Movement Assessment Process

1. Health History and Movement Background

We start by reviewing:

• Your injury history, surgeries, or major health events.

• Your current activity level and training background.

• Your movement goals — whether it’s pain-free daily life, competitive sports, or high-level performance.

Understanding your history informs everything we observe during movement testing.

2. Core | 6 Movement Screen

You’ll be guided through six fundamental assessments, each designed to test a critical movement category:

Assessments are low-impact, non-fatiguing, and fully guided by a Fluid specialist.
You’ll receive coaching and feedback during each test so you understand what’s being observed.

3. Kinotek 3D Movement Capture

 

We integrate Kinotek motion capture technology to further quantify:

• Joint angles

• Movement symmetry

• Postural alignment

• Compensatory strategies

This adds objective visual data to your Core | 6 findings for even greater precision.

4. Data Organization and Movement Profile Creation

After your screen:

• Your specialist will organize your findings across key categories:

  • Breathing mechanics

  • Core stability

  • Limb loading patterns

  • Postural alignment

• You’ll be categorized into foundational priorities:

  • Stabilization first

  • Mobility first

  • Integrated re-patterning

• A personalized progression plan is drafted to begin correcting any deficits before more intense conditioning is layered in.

No guesswork — just a data-driven action plan.

5. Your Core | 6 Review and Roadmap

At your review meeting:

• We’ll walk you through your results in plain language.

• We’ll show you where your structure is strong — and where it needs support.

• We’ll outline the appropriate starting path, which may include:

  • Protect and Restore (P&R) Program for structural correction

  • Respiratory Mechanics Training to restore intra-abdominal pressure control

  • Movement Foundations Classes targeting your specific asymmetries

Your action plan will be structured for sustainable, long-term improvements — not quick fixes.

Why Core | 6 Matters Before Anything Else

Training on a faulty frame leads to breakdown, not performance.
The Core | 6 Assessment ensures:

• Better breathing mechanics for core stability.

• Proper joint centration under load.

• Balanced force production across left and right sides of the body.

• Movement patterns that enhance, not deteriorate, your structure over time.

Without mastering these elements, strength, endurance, and metabolic improvements will always hit a ceiling.

How to Prepare for Your Core | 6 Movement Assessment

• Wear comfortable athletic clothing (t-shirt, shorts, leggings, and athletic shoes).

• Arrive well-hydrated, but no special fasting or nutrition protocols are needed.

• Avoid intense workouts the same day prior to testing. You want your baseline movement, not fatigued compensation patterns.

• Bring your completed health history forms if not already submitted.

Expect a low-intensity, high-focus session — one where the goal isn’t to “work hard,” but to move cleanly.

---

After Your Core | 6 Assessment

You will leave with:

• A full Movement Quality Report highlighting strengths and limitations.

• A clear, personalized starting program recommendation.

• Access to educational materials about breathing, posture, and structural integrity if applicable.

This assessment is the beginning of building a resilient, efficient, and powerful body — based on how you move, not how much you can lift or how fast you can run (yet).

Final Thought

At Fluid Health and Fitness, quality always precedes quantity.
The Core | 6 Movement Assessment is how we make sure your body is ready to be trained, conditioned, and challenged the right way — safely and successfully.

You’re investing in a stronger foundation today, so you can reach your highest potential tomorrow.

We look forward to guiding you through your Core | 6 journey.
