We’re excited to announce that our clinic now offers VALD Performance’s ForceDecks (Porirua clinic only) and Dynamo systems (All clinics). These state-of-the-art tools are designed to assess and optimise your strength, power, balance, and movement efficiency.

VALD enables us to adopt a truly personalised approach when it comes to understanding human movement, performance, injury risk and rehabilitation.

Here’s how VALD can take your performance and recovery to the next level.

What Are ForceDecks and DynaMo?

Precision-engineered measuring equipment that provide detailed insights into your physical performance. They measure critical variables helping to identify inefficiencies in your movement patterns. Their versatility makes them suitable for athletes, patients undergoing rehabilitation, and anyone aiming to improve overall physical health.

What is a VALD Force Deck?
VALD Force Decks are advanced force plates designed to precisely measure a multitude of metrics, offering detailed analysis of movement patterns and symmetry. Whether it’s assessing gait, balance, strength or power, these plates provide quantitative data that inform personalised treatment plans tailored to the needs of an individual or team. The Force Decks can assess over 20 different movements, allowing us to select the most appropriate tests for your injury and/or performance goals. We then provide a detailed analysis and report on the results, followed by a structured plan.

What is VALD DynaMo?

Complementing the Force Decks, the VALD DynaMo system introduces dynamic movement assessment to our practice. By integrating reliable, accurate, and portable strength and movement assessments, DynaMo captures real-time data during functional tasks and exercises. This enables us to pinpoint areas of weakness, identify compensatory movements, and fine-tune rehabilitation protocols for optimal results.

 

The Benefits of ForceDecks and DynaMo

1. Accurate and Objective Data

Precise measurements that allow us to pinpoint weaknesses or imbalances that might not be noticeable through other forms of assessment. This objective information allows us to tailor interventions specific to your training or rehabilitation program requirements.

2. Real-Time Feedback

During sessions, these tools provide instant feedback on your movements allowing for immediate adjustments to correct compensatory patterns. It also allows more specific training in areas such as balance, ultimately reducing the risk of injury.

3. Comprehensive Analysis

Automatically analyse over 20 different movements, such as squats, jumps, and isometric strength tests. This versatility enables us to assess progress across multiple dimensions of physical performance and adjust your program accordingly

4. Enhanced Rehabilitation

By identifying imbalances and areas of weakness, VALD support targeted rehabilitation strategies. This focused approach helps to restore functional symmetry, reducing the risk of re-injury and expediting recovery.

5. Optimised Athletic Performance

For athletes, VALD offer invaluable insights into sport-specific movements. Whether you’re working to improve jump height, sprint speed, or agility, VALD can provide the data needed to refine your technique and maximize your results.
