What is Applied Functional Science? (AFS)

Applied Functional Science is a distinctive and integrated approach to evaluation rehabilitation, training, and conditioning that enhances neuro-muscular-skeletal comfort and performance for people of all ages and conditions. AFS differentiates biomechanical symptoms and compensations to focus on root causes. Leveraging the proven and trusted principles of the physical, biological, and behavioral sciences, AFS uses natural three dimensional movement strategies to subconsciously normalize biomechanical chain reaction efficiency and effectiveness. AFS produces accelerated results that are measureable and sustainable

What is the difference? 
Traditional medicine treats the part and Functional Medicine (AFS) treats the person. For example, when treating a painful shoulder: 

Traditional Medicine: Focus: What part of the shoulder is damaged or weak  Analysis: the shoulder and its parts only  Treatment: improve or strengthen that part  of the shoulder

Functional Approach: Focus: what caused the shoulder to weaken  Analysis: you and the way you move and how it affects your shoulder  Treatment: correct the problem that caused the shoulder to stress
