Certification in Applied Functional Science® (CAFS) gives movement professionals the skills and knowledge to approach each individual according to their unique goals and daily function. There are no pre-requisites or requirements to enroll in CAFS.
Combining the principles of Applied Functional Science® with your existing skill sets and experience, learn how to take an individualized approach to program design and create truly functional programs for your clients.
Utilizing the Local to Global spectrum method, learn how to identify common dysfunction, create mobility and progress to stability and strength for any range of functional needs and for any population.
Whether you are just starting on your journey of Applied Functional Science® or are looking to continue growing, CAFS will provide a new experience by delivering the authentic truths of biomechanics and enforcing your understanding with clinical examples of how to apply these principles.
CAFS is a lockstep course meaning that the participant must complete each section in order and pass each exam before progressing on to the next section. Participants must score 70% on each exam to pass but may retake the exam in the event they fail.

Gray institute – about us
Applied Functional Science (AFS) is the common thread to all that Gray Institute delivers. AFS is based on scientific truth – not theory – that strategically links to the most effective and efficient techniques for the individual. AFS influences and enhances the entire Movement Industry – performance/training and conditioning, prevention, and rehabilitation.
AFS is the convergence of sciences that allows for purposeful movement. The convergence of Physical Sciences (the world we live in), Biological Sciences (the miracle of the human body), and Behavioral Sciences (the power of the mind and spirit) is the DNA of AFS. For the Physical Sciences, the truths of Environment, Gravity, Ground Reaction Force, Mass, and Momentum are considered and leveraged. For the Biological Sciences, the truths of Motion, Reaction, Proprioceptors, Muscles, Joints, Task, Specificity, and Mobility/Stability are considered and leveraged. For the Behavioral Sciences, the truths of Success, Encouragement, Locus of Control, Empowerment, Relevance, and Significance are considered and leveraged.
Learning objectives
What you will learn:
- The Process of Applied Functional Science®
- 10 Observational Essentials of All Movement
- The 8 Fundamental Movement Patterns
- Endless Movement Variables
- The Local/Global Movement Continuum
- Individualized program design using a four step process.
- Functional Movement Assessments
- Utilize Local and Global assessments and corrections for the following areas: Foot/Ankle, Knee, Hip, Lumbar Spine, Thoracic Spine, Cervical Spine and Shoulder.
Signs gift is right for you:
You need to reconcile the differences and inconsistencies in your movement education.
You want to know more about how the body truly functions and moves.
You find yourself unable to address the true cause of dysfunction, rather than just treating the compensations.
