Seven fundamental movement patterns

Movement screening

The MBT movement screening tests your body across seven fundamental movement patterns. You receive scores per pattern, a personalised exercise programme and a retest after six weeks. Suitable as a baseline measurement for athletes, for injury prevention, or as a starting point for better mobility.

Your body is built to move, but movement needs maintenance

Most people only notice it when it is too late: stiffness in the morning, a shoulder that does not cooperate, a knee that protests after a run. These are often signs of restrictions that have been building up for a while.

The problem is that you start moving around them. Your body compensates and gets away with it for a time. But once that slack runs out, symptoms can develop. The MBT movement screening makes these restrictions visible before they turn into real problems.

● WHO IT IS FOR

Who is the movement screening for?

The screening adapts to your situation. A few typical profiles.

Office workers

You sit all day and feel it in your back, neck or shoulders. You want to know what is going on, without starting a full treatment programme right away. The screening shows which restrictions affect your daily movement pattern and gives you concrete exercises to work on yourself.

Hyrox & CrossFitter

You train hard, but some movements do not feel right. You want to know whether mobility restrictions are getting in your way or raising your injury risk. We systematically test which positions your body handles well and which it does not.

Runners

Recurring symptoms in knees, hips or ankles. You want to understand which restrictions affect your running pattern. Optionally combine with a running analysis at our Amsterdam-North location.

Elite athletes

For athletes who want to invest seriously in their mobility, people with complex or long-running symptoms, and anyone who wants a full picture of their movement quality.

55+

You want to keep moving well. The screening shows where to focus to preserve your mobility and reduce fall risk. The tests are adjusted to your level.

Post-rehabilitation

Your treatment programme is finished, but you want an objective check that your body is ready for sport or daily life again. The screening gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what your next step is.

● WHY MBT

What sets us apart.

01

Seven fundamental patterns

We test your body across seven core movement patterns. Not a single muscle or joint, but the whole system.

02

Score and classification per pattern

Each archetype gets a green, orange or red score. A clear picture of where you stand and what needs attention.

03

Root cause analysis

Not just where it stalls, but also why: ROM restriction or motor control. Only then can you work on it specifically.

04

Personalised exercise programme

Concrete exercises, tailored to you. A schedule you can start with directly, without needing a full physio programme.

05

Retest after 6 weeks

An objective check on whether your exercise programme is working. Adjust where needed. No assumptions, just data.

● OUR METHOD

Our unique method

Repeat.
01 / PHASE 1

Discover

Every treatment starts with a thorough intake. This gives us a complete picture of your physical health, movement patterns and mental well-being. We take a holistic approach and look beyond physical symptoms alone. Think sleep habits, nutrition, hydration, movement and daily stress factors.

02 / PHASE 2

Educate

Understanding your condition is the key to lasting recovery. We make sure you understand where your symptoms come from and how to manage them. This helps you recognise your body's signals and prevent future issues.

03 / PHASE 3

Recreate

We work through a tailored programme that targets weaknesses in the body. Movement is at the centre of our treatment method. With specific exercises tuned to you, we build your body's capacity to handle load and help you develop sustainable movement habits. This reduces the chance of recurring symptoms.

● FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a movement screening?

A structured test of seven fundamental movement patterns. Each pattern receives a score and classification. From this we build a personalised exercise programme to address restrictions.

Do I need symptoms to do a screening?

No. The screening is designed precisely as a baseline measurement or preventive assessment. Many athletes and office workers do it to find restrictions before they turn into symptoms.

What is the difference between the packages?

Quick Scan (30 min) tests 4 patterns and gives you a fast read. Mobility analysis (60 min) tests all 7 patterns with root cause analysis. Complete Screening (90 min) adds sport-specific tests and hands-on mobilisation.

What does the report look like?

A digital PDF report with scores per archetype (green, orange, red) and a body region map. The more extensive packages also include a personalised exercise programme with visuals.

Do I get exercises to take home?

Yes. From 3 home exercises with the Quick Scan to a 14-day mobility schedule with the Mobility analysis. With the Complete Screening we also do hands-on mobilisation during the session.

Is a movement screening covered by insurance?

A movement screening is not covered by physiotherapy insurance. If symptoms are present, a follow-up programme as physiotherapy can be covered, depending on your policy.

Which locations can I visit?

Three locations in Amsterdam: Houthavens in Amsterdam-West, NDSM in Amsterdam-North and Oostenburg in Amsterdam-East. Book at the location that suits you best.

I received excellent care and guidance throughout my ACL and meniscus surgery journey. From the preparation phase to the recovery process, I felt fully supported with a clear plan and weekly progression.

Cedrine helped me enormously with my recovery from recurring knee complaints. Within a few months the strength difference between both legs was minimal.

I've been helped tremendously by multiple members of the team for various issues over the course of about a year now. Not all team members have been my PT, but I have met them all and they are all great.
