Overview

Busy pros need movements that work—right now. 3DFMC gives you a ready-to-use library of 3D progressions that you can apply immediately to help clients move, feel, and perform better.

Built on Applied Functional Science® (what’s this?) and four decades of field experience, the course uses the performance framework of 3DMAPS® (what’s this?) to teach you how to observe, progress, and personalize movement in all three planes.

You’ll also learn how to individualize movement using Tweakology™ (what’s this?) —the AFS system of variables (environment, position, driver, direction, height, distance, action, load, rate, duration) that helps you adapt every exercise to each person.

If you want a clear, usable framework to guide real human movement—fast—start here.

Who It’s For

  • Physical Therapists and PTAs who want reliable, functional progressions between visits.
  • Personal Trainers who want efficient, scalable programming for better client outcomes.
  • Coaches who prefer doing over diagnosing and want a clear system to guide performance.

Everything is organized to make coaching simple, scalable, and directly relevant to real life and sport.

What You’ll Get

  • 3D Progression Library: Foundational → Local → Global progressions organized across Mobility, Stability, and Mostability. Benefit: Session-ready drills that scale from deconditioned to high-performing clients.
  • Tweakology™ & AFS Variables (what’s this?): Learn to individualize movement using the Applied Functional Science® nomenclature of variables—environment, position, driver, direction, height, distance, action, load, rate, and duration. Benefit: Personalization made simple, so every movement fits the individual.
  • 3DMAPS® Performance Framework (what’s this?): Learn to observe and progress authentic movement patterns across all planes using the same framework taught in 3DMAPS®. Benefit: A consistent, evidence-based method for understanding and improving movement.
  • Coach Portal (post-cert): Access 30+ movement videos and progressions to share directly with clients. Benefit: Keep clients engaged and consistent between sessions.
  • 3DFMC Credential: Pass the online exam to earn your certification (digital certificate/badge). Benefit: Signal expertise and elevate your professional credibility.

Finish confident in your ability to guide real human movement and progress clients session to session.

FAQ

  • Do I need to complete 3DMAPS® first?
    No. 3DFMC introduces the performance applications of 3DMAPS® (learn more) —you don’t need to hold that certification to benefit from this course.
  • Is equipment required?
    No special equipment is required. You can apply all progressions using open space; simple tools like bands or light weights are optional.
  • How long does the course take?
    It’s self-paced. Most professionals complete it over several study sessions alongside their regular schedule.
  • Does this teach assessments?
    You won’t learn a separate assessment credential here. Instead, you’ll use the 3DMAPS® performance framework (what’s this?) and Tweakology™ (what’s this?) to observe movement and progress it logically in all three planes.
  • When do I get Coach Portal access?
    After you pass the online exam, you’ll unlock the Coach Portal with access to 30+ movement videos and progressions you can share with clients.
  • Are CEUs available?
    Coming soon. Check back for specific approvals and hour breakdowns as they are finalized.
  • Is there an exam?
