VALD Assessment Services
Advanced movement analysis technology for accurate diagnosis and guided return to sport
Precision Assessment Technology
At Physica, we use cutting-edge VALD technology to provide objective, data-driven insights into your movement patterns and physical performance.
ForceFrame
Our ForceFrame system provides comprehensive strength and movement assessment, measuring force production, power output, and asymmetries across multiple movement patterns. This technology helps identify weaknesses and imbalances that may be contributing to your injury or limiting your performance.
ForceDecks
ForceDecks force plates deliver precise measurements of your jumping mechanics, balance, and lower limb function. These assessments provide detailed insights into muscle activation patterns, landing mechanics, and power generation—crucial for injury prevention and athletic performance.
