VALD Assessments in Adelaide
What is VALD?
VALD is cutting-edge technology that helps our team to assess and improve your strength, movement, and performance. VALD provides us with accurate, data-driven insights into your muscles and joints. This helps us track your progress, identify any weaknesses, and tailor your treatment to get you back to your best, faster. By incorporating VALD into our clinic, we offer a modern, effective way to enhance your recovery and prevent future injuries.
Why do we use VALD?
Physiotherapists use VALD because it provides precise, real-time data on muscle strength, balance, and movement patterns. This helps us identify any weaknesses or imbalances that might be contributing to your pain or injury. With VALD’s advanced technology, we can track your progress over time and adjust treatments to ensure you’re getting the best results. It enables us to make more informed decisions, personalise your rehab, and ultimately help you recover faster and more effectively. VALD is a game-changer in providing targeted, evidence-based care for everyone.
Not all clinics offer VALD, as it requires specialised equipment and training. However, at PhysioWest, we’ve made a strong investment in this advanced technology to provide the best care possible for our community. We believe that incorporating tools like VALD allows us to deliver more accurate assessments, track your progress effectively, and personalize your treatment plans for faster and better recovery. By embracing cutting-edge technology, we ensure that our community receive the highest standard of physiotherapy available.
What does using VALD involve?
During a session that includes VALD equipment, we start with a thorough assessment of your condition and goals. You may be asked to perform specific movements or exercises while connected to VALD’s tools, like the Dynamo or ForceDecks. These devices measure your muscle strength, balance, and movement patterns in real-time. Based on the data, we’ll discuss the results and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. You can also access the data on your own device, with the MoveHealth app, which your physiotherapist can provide you with a link to access.
Do I have to use VALD?
You don’t have to use VALD in every session, but it’s a powerful tool that can help us assess and treat certain injuries more effectively. While VALD is especially beneficial for conditions involving muscle strength, balance, or joint function, not every injury may require its use. We’ll always tailor your treatment based on your specific needs. If we believe VALD can enhance your recovery or provide valuable insights, we’ll recommend it as part of your treatment plan, but ultimately, it’s your choice.
