Functional Movement Screening | CLIMB Trauma Reset Protocol

CLIMB Protocol Functional Movement & Risk Screening

Movement Isn’t Optional—It’s the Medicine
Challenger Point Practice PLLC | Ad Astra Per Aspera

🔍 What Is This Form?

This screening is not about passing a test. It’s about knowing your starting point—and building from there. Before we hit the mountain, ocean, sweat lodge, or breathwork reset, we take stock of your functional baseline so we can keep you safe, customize your plan, and track your growth.

This form helps determine:

Your current ability to squat, carry, walk, float, and move freely
Any red flags around hot/cold exposure, fear, or physical limitations
Modifications that make the CLIMB experience safer and more effective
A roadmap toward trauma-informed movement progression

It’s used alongside your MD/DO medical clearance to create your individualized treatment plan.

🧗‍♂️ Why Functional Movement Matters in Trauma Recovery

Trauma doesn't just live in the mind—it lives in the muscle tension, breath patterns, joint stiffness, and fatigue that shows up in our bodies every day. CLIMB uses:

Ground-based drills (rolling, crawling, barefoot movement)
Water resets (floating, breath holds, immersion)
Hot/cold exposure (sweat lodge, hot springs, ocean)
Agility-specific drills for cops, firefighters, medics, dispatchers, military
Balance, strength, and adaptability challenges

These reset how your nervous system handles stress.

🛠 Who Completes This Form?

This screening can be completed by:

A licensed physical therapist or occupational therapist
A certified athletic trainer or personal trainer
A physician (MD/DO)
A Peer Specialist or Clinical Facilitator under supervision

If you don’t have access to a trainer or therapist, we’ll help coordinate one with your PCP or assign a screener.

🧭 What Activities Are You Being Screened For?

This isn’t a gym workout—it’s a movement reset protocol designed to:

Improve balance, mobility, and breath control
Rebuild nervous system regulation
Prepare you for movement-based healing like barefoot walking, carrying logs, climbing hills, and entering hot/cold water
Prevent injury, reduce inflammation, and meet you where you're at

🧠 Not Just Physical — We Screen the Stress Response Too

If needed, a clinician will assess for:

Panic under pressure
Breath restriction anxiety
Body-based trauma responses
Freezing, dissociation, or hyperarousal during drills

This gives us a real-world blueprint of how your body and mind handle challenge.

🎯 What Happens After the Screening?

You’ll be assigned a Peer Specialist and your movement readiness notes will help build your:

Individualized treatment and reset plan
Safety modifications for water, altitude, and heat
Activity tracking tools for your physical growth
Optional performance milestones if desired (e.g. underwater time, summit attempts)

You don’t have to be “fit” to begin CLIMB. You just need to show up, breathe, and move.

💥 This Isn’t About Passing or Failing

It’s about creating a movement-informed, trauma-smart plan that protects you while helping you adapt, strengthen, and reclaim your body from the inside out.

Whether you’re a retired cop with a limp, a firefighter post-surgery, or a dispatcher who hasn’t moved in months—this is for you.

Let’s meet your body where it is—and give it room to grow.
