Unlock Your Performance Potential with VALD ForceDecks

When it comes to improving performance, preventing injury, and recovering faster, knowledge is power. At Align Healthcare Clinic, we’re proud to use VALD ForceDecks which are cutting-edge dual force plate technology trusted by elite sports teams, the NHS, researchers and Osteopaths and physiotherapists worldwide.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend runner or someone just wanting to train smarter, the insights ForceDecks provide can be game-changing.

What Are VALD ForceDecks?

VALD ForceDecks are the world’s most advanced dual force plate system, designed to measure strength, power, balance, and movement quality. In practical terms, that means you can finally get objective data about how your body moves, where your strengths are and where you may be at risk of injury.

One of the most powerful features? The Countermovement Jump (CMJ) test. This is one of the most researched and widely used assessments for evaluating performance and recovery. It gives clinicians and coaches measurable insights into your neuromuscular function, meaning we can see how your body is coping with training, competition or rehabilitation.

Why Does This Matter for You?

For athletes, it’s about pushing performance while reducing injury risk. For everyday active people, it’s about recovering smarter and training with confidence.

Some key benefits include:

  • Accurate, real-time data to track your progress

  • Early detection of weaknesses or imbalances before they become injuries

  • Personalised rehab and training plans based on your unique movement profile

  • Motivation and accountability through clear, trackable results

Unlike guesswork or relying purely on “how you feel,” ForceDecks give you hard evidence you can trust.

App Support and Validated Questionnaires

The ForceDecks system doesn’t stop at the clinic. Through the connected VALD apps, your progress is monitored with scientifically validated questionnaires that track recovery, mental readiness, and overall wellbeing.

This means you can:

  • Log how you’re feeling physically and mentally

  • Match subjective data (how you feel) with objective data (how you perform)

  • See your recovery and progress over time, in black and white

This combination makes it easier than ever to spot trends, adapt training, and stay on top of your health.

Who Can Benefit?

ForceDecks aren’t just for elite sports teams (though they use them too). They’re just as valuable if you are:

  • Coming back from an injury

  • Preparing for a marathon, dance competition, or local 5K

  • Balancing a busy lifestyle while wanting to train smarter

  • Someone who’s simply curious about what their body can do

The insight you get is simple to understand, easy to act on, and designed to give you confidence in every step, jump, or lift.

The Bottom Line

VALD ForceDecks take the guesswork out of performance and recovery. By combining world-class movement analysis with app-based progress tracking, they put real, actionable insights in your hands.

Whether you’re chasing peak performance or just want to stay active, ForceDecks are a tool that can help you get there, safely, efficiently and with confidence.

At Align Healthcare Clinic, we’re excited to bring this technology to our patients and clients. Because your progress deserves to be measured, not guessed.
