At Cheshire Physioactive, we use VALD Force Plates to provide objective, measurable information that helps our physiotherapists understand how you move, perform and recover.
Force plate testing is not just for elite athletes. We use this technology as part of routine rehabilitation for patients of all ages and abilities, as well as for performance assessment in both recreational and elite athletes.
The data provides valuable information about strength, power, loading, symmetry, balance and movement, allowing our physiotherapists to track progress objectively rather than relying solely on how you feel or what you can do in a single session. This information helps us guide exercise selection and progression, ensuring your rehabilitation programme continues to be appropriately challenging as you improve.
For athletes, VALD Force Plates are particularly valuable when assessing readiness to return to sport or play following injury. Objective testing can help identify remaining deficits and asymmetries and provide useful information to support clinical decision-making when progressing back to training and competition.
Force plate testing is equally valuable in general rehabilitation. We use it with patients experiencing lower or upper limb problems, balance difficulties, reduced mobility or loss of strength, helping us understand where deficits exist and monitor improvements throughout rehabilitation.
By combining objective technology with expert physiotherapy assessment, we can provide a more individualised and evidence-informed approach to rehabilitation and performance.
Measure progress. Guide rehabilitation. Build confidence. Return stronger.
