What are ForceDecks?

ForceDecks are precision tools that measure your strength, power, balance, and movement by recording the forces you generate during exercises.

Instantly, the data goes to your app, where your Osteopath or Physiotherapist turns those insights into a tailored plan to support your performance, recovery, or goals. With over 20 movement types detected automatically, they’re versatile enough for anyone, whether you're healing, training, or building strength.

In short, ForceDecks let us measure, monitor and manage your performance with accuracy you can trust.

We will ask you to do specific movements to analyse certain areas, such as:

  • Sit to stand

  • Two legged or one legged standing (balance test)

  • Hop and return

  • Jumps

  • Squats

  • Press ups

  • Shoulder push downs

  • Drop jumps and more

Who is it suitable for?

  • Patients recovering from injuries like ACL or Achilles tears

  • Those returning after surgery

  • Sports players / teams wanting to sharpen performance

  • Older adults improving balance and mobility

  • Gym-goers looking to spot weaknesses

  • Those you just generally want to improve their movement and strength

They’re also trusted by team sports, emergency services and defence departments worldwide – including all 20 Premier League teams, over 200 UEFA member clubs, and 50 defence departments.

A key feature is Center of Pressure (CoP) testing, the gold standard for measuring balance. Unlike traditional methods, ForceDecks reveal not only how much force you produce, but where you apply it – giving pinpoint insights for athletes, dancers, or anyone with balance challenges.

What can I do with the results?

By knowing your results, we can develop a treatment or training plan that’s tailored exactly to your needs. Your progress is monitored over time so we can clearly track improvements.

Each session is designed around you. If pain is identified, your practitioner may provide hands-on treatment. If weakness is identified, they’ll build a strengthening plan for that area and so on.

You’ll also see where you rank by percentile. For example, being in the 90th percentile means your results are better than 90% of people who’ve taken the same test – a real motivator.

Your results are stored in your app, so you can access your tailored plan, exercise routines and progress updates in clinic and also at home! Prefer paper? We can also email or print them for you.

Backed by research - used in the NHS

Research by Collings et al. shows ForceDecks provide accurate and reliable assessments of both ground reaction force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP). They’ve been proven as effective as laboratory-grade equipment for monitoring performance and tracking rehabilitation.

That’s why ForceDecks are used globally by high-performance organisations, the NHS, elite sports teams and the military. Described as “Technology for human performance,” they bring cutting-edge sports science into everyday practice.
