VALD Functional Assessment
Measure what matters.
VALD Functional Assessment
Your musculoskeletal health checkup
For active adults over 35 who want to move well for life
The testing session begin with a discussion with the physiotherapist to identify your needs and goals of the session. This will guide the assessment and selection of the appropriate tests.
What Is A VALD Functional Assessment?
Think of it as a health check for your muscles, joints and movement system.
Your assessment is performed by an experienced physiotherapist using advanced VALD systems trusted by elite rehabilitation clinics and performance centres around the world.
We assess how your body loads, moves, stabilises and produces force — then translate that data into meaningful clinical recommendations and practical next steps.
Why This Assessment Matters
As we age, small declines in:
strength
balance
mobility
reaction time
power
coordination
can quietly increase the risk of pain, falls, injury and loss of confidence.
The problem is most people do not notice these changes until something goes wrong.
Objective testing helps identify:
hidden weaknesses
movement compensations
side-to-side imbalances
instability
reduced power and capacity
before they significantly affect your lifestyle.
What We Assess
Strength
Measure muscle strength and identify deficits contributing to pain, instability or reduced confidence.
Balance & Stability
Assess control, coordination and fall-risk factors.
Mobility
Identify restrictions that may be increasing strain on joints or limiting movement.
Movement Quality
Analyse how your body moves during functional tasks such as squatting, stepping and balance activities.
Symmetry
Detect left-to-right imbalances commonly associated with injury risk and reduced performance.
