Only if you want to.

The assessments are there to help you learn how your body is impacted by movement sequences in an overall sense.

If you have 1 or 2 assessments that really reveal imbalances in your body, keep it simple and use those.

You don’t need to get granular with your evaluations in an attempt to diagnose what is or isn’t happening with your body.

The main goal is to become aware of how you feel overall so that you can observe any changes that show up after you complete a rebalancing movement routine.

Furthermore, any change at all, even if it’s not desirable or what you wanted or expected to change, should be noted as change.

If you’re not noticing much difference with 1 or 2 assessment tests, that’s when you can switch it up and investigate with any of the other 6 tests.

Also, remember that each movement you do in The Movement Program is also a “test” of function. You can track progress and improvement based on how your body shows up to each movement you do, especially as you continue to do it over the course of many weeks.

(That’s why you definitely want to be taking notes and keeping some sort of journal.)

For example: maybe, a position was once painful as soon as you got into it and after 4 days of practice you can now rest in that position for a minute before symptoms show up. Subtle changes like that often slip past us and we miss the proof that things are shifting right before us.

To conclude, evaluating change does not need to be rigid. The assessment tests are tools for you to find a routine that is comfortable and makes sense to you.
