VALD Technology Glendale: 4 Simple Progress Metrics

VALD technology at our Glendale clinic is changing how we measure your progress, and why that matters more than just feeling stronger.

For years, progress in rehab and training relied a lot on feel. Does it feel easier? Do you feel stronger? Feel is useful, but it’s not always accurate, and it can hide small setbacks or plateaus you’d otherwise miss.

That’s where VALD comes in. It’s the same force plate and diagnostics technology used by professional sports teams, and our Glendale clinic uses it to take the guesswork out of your program.

What VALD technology measures at our Glendale clinic

Instead of relying only on how a session feels, VALD gives us real numbers. It measures things like:

1. Force output, how much force each side of your body is producing

2. Asymmetry, whether one side is compensating for the other

3. Session-to-session change, how your strength shifts week to week, not just month to month

4. Readiness, whether you’re actually prepared to progress to the next stage of your program

This means decisions about your training, when to add load, when to hold steady, when something needs attention, are based on what your body is actually doing, not an educated guess.

Why this matters for you

If you’re recovering from injury, this data helps confirm you’re genuinely ready for the next step, rather than pushing too soon based on how you feel that day. If you’re training for strength and conditioning, it shows exactly where your gains are coming from, and where there’s still room to grow. Whether you train with us in Glendale or visit our Williamtown clinic, the same objective approach applies across Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.
