Strength VALD Assessment
Every athlete knows that strength matters. But when it comes to rehab, how do you know if you're truly ready to return to sport or is just feeling good enough?
At Valley Physiotherapy, we combine elite technology with expert clinical reasoning so every stage of your rehab is guided by numbers, not guesswork.
What is strength VALD assessment?
It's a deep dive into your body's power, control, and symmetry using industry-leading VALD Force Decks and Handheld Dynamometers, the same tools trusted in professional sport and research facilities worldwide. It can be part of your initial diagnosis, your mid-rehab check, or your final clearance test before returning to sport.
No more relying on feel. You'll know exactly where you're strong — and where you're not.
