VALD Performance Testing:
IF YOU CAN MEASURE IT, YOU CAN IMPROVE IT.

What Is VALD Technology?

VALD technology is an objective performance assessment system used to measure strength, power, balance, and movement quality with precision. At Clutch PT + Performance, we use VALD ForceDecks and NordBord to collect benchmarks on how your body produces and absorbs force.

how does VALD Technology help athletes?

Unlike observational assessments alone, VALD provides undeniable, measurable insights into side-to-side imbalances, muscle asymmetries, and deficits that may increase injury risk or limit performance. Numbers never lie. This data allows our physical therapists and performance coaches to make informed decisions about training, rehab, return-to-sport readiness and cueing to improve muscle activation patterns and efficiency, reducing injury risk.

Bonus: every athlete we know thrives on having hard data to improve on. VALD provides critical feedback with an added motivational factor for progression.

See it in action in the wild with Performance Coach Andrew FitzGerald. VALD testing can be performed at our NYC and CT locations, as well as on site with teams anywhere.

VALD technology improves post-op rehab.

Get you a rehab specialist who geeks out on the numbers. We’ll take all the real-time data on strength, limb symmetry, and movement quality to inform our return-to-play/activity decisions all day long.

Objective Monitoring + Targeted Rehab

VALD testing gives our Athlete Mechanics quantifiable data, eliminating guesswork. No brainer.

Safe Return-to-Sport, and Life

Data-driven benchmarks for recovery reduce re-injury risks and guide our decisions on when it’s safe to get back at it.

Versatility

VALD data is highly useful after ACL reconstruction, Achilles repair, knee replacements, shoulder surgeries and spinal injuries.
