At Edinburgh Sports + Spinal Physiotherapy, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge VALD force plate testing — a gold-standard tool used by elite sports teams and research institutions around the world. This technology gives our physiotherapists detailed, objective data to guide injury rehabilitation, track progress, and optimise performance.
When recovering from injury — whether it’s a knee ACL reconstruction, ankle sprain, Achilles tendinopathy or hamstring tear — force plate testing allows us to track your return to strength and function over time. For example, we can measure your single-leg jump height and landing forces to determine when your injured limb matches the strength and control of the uninjured side. This helps reduce the risk of re-injury and ensures you’re ready to return to sport safely.
All testing is conducted by qualified physiotherapists with expertise in sports science and biomechanics. Results are explained in clear terms, and you’ll receive a summary report to track your progress or share with your coach, trainer or consultant.
Book your VALD force plate session today at Edinburgh Sports + Spinal Physiotherapy and take the guesswork out of your rehab or performance program.
