How strong and fit are you?  
 

Get clear objective feedback about your strength, balance, and musculoskeletal health. 
 
Here at Woollahra Physiotherapy, we value the importance of new, advancing technology and how it can aid our understanding of your health and well-being. 
 
Over the last year, we have added VALD testing equipment to our clinic. This testing equipment uses force plates and dynamometers to give us data on different metrics which relate to your physical capabilities.  
 
We use our performance testing equipment to provide an objective analysis of how the body moves and functions. The technology measures factors such as strength, balance and movement control, allowing physiotherapists to identify weaknesses or imbalances that may contribute to injury or reduced performance. We will also combine this with other tests and markers we know that are key to track and measure. 
 
Not only does this technology help compare your right and left sides, but it also compares you to data within the VALD database to other people of the same sex and age. This will give you a good understanding of how your health is compared to your peers and what you may need to work on. 
 
After the initial testing appointment, a follow up will be scheduled to explain the results of the tests and set up your targeted exercises to address the deficits found during your assessment. The exercises will set out important principles that may be missing in your current health and wellbeing program. A follow up re-test will be set up usually within 3 months to check your progress.
