ACTS of Virginia | Athletes Complete Training Source

The roster of the ACTS team brings to our facility many years of successful experience in their fields of expertise on local, national and international levels. Unlike franchise-type workout facilities, ACTS incorporates Richmond-based professionals with excellent reputations within the "home" market; name-recognition and strength of character set them apart in the marketplace.

The entities within ACTS bring with them a solid base of clients from their current locations to serve as a foundation from which to build.

Assesment & Testing

ACTS Testing

Physical therapy involves active participation on the patient’s part for not only the evaluation and treatment phase, but also with injury risk and prevention. The professionals at Midlothian Orthopedic and Sports Therapy (MOST), in conjunction with Athletes Complete Training Source (ACTS), administer the Functional Movement Screen (FMS™) to assess potential range of motion, stabilization, and balance deficits. Mobility and stability extremes are evaluated to expose asymmetries and limitations that may predispose the athlete/patient to injury.

The four tests that we at MOST/ACTS administer include:

Deep Squat: assesses functional mobility of the hips, knees and ankles
Hurdle Step: examines stride mechanics during walking/running
In-Line Lunge: tests hip/trunk mobility and stability, quadriceps flexibility, ankle and knee stability
Quadriped Rotatory Stability: grades core stability/strength

A recent study published in the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy (August, 2007) suggests that athletes with dysfunctional movement patterns, as assessed by the FMS™, are more likely to suffer time-loss injury during the season. Therefore, information gleaned from these tests can be incorporated into the athlete’s/patient’s training/treatment program.
