VALD Performance Testing
You can't manage what you don't measure. VALD performance testing takes the guesswork out of rehab and performance by giving us hard numbers on your strength, your asymmetries and your readiness to return to sport.
What is VALD performance testing?
VALD is elite-level human measurement technology used by professional sports teams worldwide. We use two complementary VALD systems: the ForceFrame and the ForceDecks, to build a complete picture of your strength and how you move. This enables us to identify where you are strong and areas in which you could be better.
Instead of relying on how something feels, we get objective data you can actually trust and build a performance and rehab plan around.
VALD ForceFrame: Strength and Asymmetry testing
The ForceFrame measures your strength precisely, left versus right and muscle group by muscle group. We can use this information to tell if you are strong enough for your age, gender, sport and body weight. In a few quick tests it reveals exactly where you're strong, where you're holding back, and where a left-to-right imbalance might be quietly increasing your risk of future injury.
It's the clinic setting gold standard for screening the muscle groups commonly injured in sporting environments: e.g. hip and groin, hamstrings, calf and quadriceps and for tracking and profiling strength as you work back from injury.
VALD ForceDecks: jump, power and movement profiling
While the ForceFrame measures raw strength, the ForceDecks force plates measure how you actually move and absorb load. As you perform double and single leg jumps, landings and balance tasks, the plates capture your power, your reactive strength and how evenly you push off and land through each leg.
This is how we spot the asymmetries that only show up under real movement, monitor fatigue and readiness through a busy season, and make confident return-to-play decisions after lower-limb injuries such as ACL reconstructions.
Together, the two systems tell us not just how strong you are, but whether you can use that strength safely when it matters.
What to expect?
In a single session we run a series of quick, pain-free tests across both systems: isometric strength tests on the ForceFrame and jump, landing and balance tests on the ForceDecks. You'll see your results there and then, including any left to right imbalances and we'll explain exactly what they mean for you. From there, you leave with a clear, targeted rehabilitation plan to close the gaps and a benchmark to measure your progress against.
For players coming back from injury, this is how we make return-to-play decisions with confidence and clarity.
