About the service
Strength testing adds objective information to clinical assessment, rehabilitation reviews and return-to-activity planning.
Objective testing is used when a number will meaningfully inform a decision, such as establishing a baseline, identifying a deficit or judging readiness for the next rehabilitation stage.
Testing is selected around the body area, task and decision that matters to you.
Results can identify meaningful side-to-side differences and provide a baseline for rehabilitation.
Repeat testing can demonstrate change and help guide progression rather than relying on time alone.
VALD ForceFrameObjective strength data
Measure what your muscles can produce.
The VALD ForceFrame measures force in controlled testing positions. It gives us objective numbers to use alongside your clinical assessment, so decisions are not based on symptoms or observation alone.
Compare relevant outputs
Identify meaningful differences between sides, positions or muscle groups.
Retest progress
Use repeatable data to guide progression and support return-to-activity decisions.
The numbers inform the decision; they do not replace clinical reasoning, your symptoms or the demands of the activity you want to return to.

Questions
Before you book.
Can I book testing without being injured?
Yes. Testing can support performance profiling as well as rehabilitation.
Will I receive the results?
Yes. Key findings are explained and can be used to guide training or rehabilitation priorities.
Does symmetry mean I am ready to return to sport?
Not by itself. Strength is one part of a broader decision that includes symptoms, movement, exposure and sport-specific demands.
