Bringing Elite-Sport Assessment to The Clinic

By Hayden Buckman

Cast your mind back to the last time you were handed a physio exercise program. 

A printed sheet, maybe a few hand-drawn diagrams, a list of exercises with sets and reps scribbled alongside. 

You took it home, did your best to remember what the physio showed you, and quietly wondered whether any of it was actually going to work. Sound familiar?

At Physique, we have partnered with VALD to provide elite-level technology which enables us to take our assessment, analysis and treatment to the next level. 

Our handheld dynamometer measures your muscle strength with clinical accuracy, identifying imbalances between sides, between muscle groups, and across movement patterns that simply cannot be detected by eye or feel alone. 

The Force decks analyse how you load, absorb and transfer force through your body during movement, revealing the hidden compensations and weaknesses that are often the real culprits behind pain and injury.

This level of detail changes everything. Instead of making educated guesses, your physiotherapist has hard numbers and movement data to guide every decision — from diagnosis and treatment, right through to knowing exactly when you’re truly ready to return to full activity. Better information means better decisions. Better decisions mean better results.

Your Program, In Your Pocket

Once your program is built — on facts, not assumptions — it lives in a custom app on your phone. Every exercise comes with an instructional video so you always know exactly what you’re doing and why. Built-in pain monitoring means your program adapts as you progress, and a direct line of communication to your physiotherapist means help is never more than a message away. No more squinting at photocopied sheets. No more guessing if you’re doing it right.

Elite Care for Every Body

This kind of technology used to be reserved for professional athletes with big budgets.  We at Physique Physiotherapy believe every patient deserves a program that’s built around the truth of their body, not a best guess. If you’re ready to experience what proper, evidence-based rehabilitation actually looks like, we’d love to show you.
