How Our Newcastle Exercise Physiologists Use VALD to Help Older Adults Stay Upright and Confident

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults—but they don’t have to be. At Coastline Performance and Health, our Newcastle exercise physiologists use VALD technology to help seniors stay strong, steady, and confident on their feet.

We believe that growing older shouldn’t mean growing more fragile. That’s why we use the latest evidence-based tools—like VALD force decks and motion analysis—to assess balance, strength, and mobility with precision. It’s personalised, measurable care that keeps our clients one step ahead.

Why Falls Happen (and What You Can Do About It)

As we age, things like muscle loss, joint stiffness, and slower reflexes can increase our risk of falling. But that doesn’t mean falls are inevitable. The truth is, with the right guidance and training, many falls are preventable.

That’s where our team steps in. Whether you’re in Newcastle, Port Stephens, or searching for exercise physiology near me, we’re here to help you build resilience—not just recover from setbacks.

VALD Technology

VALD technology is a cutting-edge assessment tool we use in our Glendale and Williamtown clinics. It measures how well you balance, how strong your legs are, and how evenly you move. That data gives us a clear picture of your fall risk—so we can take action before a fall ever happens.

Using VALD technology, we can:

• Spot imbalances in your strength or movement

• Track your progress with real numbers (not guesswork)

• Tailor your strength and balance program based on real data

Our older clients love how it takes the guesswork out of their care and gives them confidence that they’re improving.
