How Our Vald ForceDecks at North End Are Changing the Way We Treat and Train at Coastal Sports and Wellness
At Coastal Sports and Wellness, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of evidence-based care and performance. That’s why we’re proud to bring the game-changing Vald ForceDecks to our North End location—an elite tool used by pro sports teams, Olympic training centers, and now, our very own community right here in Nova Scotia.
This isn’t just a shiny piece of tech; it’s a revolution in how we measure, monitor, and optimize your recovery, rehabilitation, and athletic performance.
What Are Vald ForceDecks?
ForceDecks are dual force plates that measure force, power, asymmetries, and movement mechanics in real time. They allow us to assess movements like squats, jumps, landings, isometric strength holds, and more—with clinical precision.
Think of it as a high-performance mirror that reflects your muscular output, balance, and coordination with each movement. And best of all, they provide objective data—not just what we see or feel.
Why We Use ForceDecks at Our North End Clinic
Let’s face it: pain and performance often hide in the small details. A slight difference in force output between your left and right leg may seem negligible, but over time, that asymmetry could lead to compensation patterns, re-injury, or plateaued performance.
At our North End clinic, we use ForceDecks to bring those “invisible” differences to light.
Whether you’re:
• Rehabbing post-surgery
• Returning to sport after ACL injury
• Training for elite performance
• Managing chronic pain
• Or just looking to optimize how your body moves…
Our ForceDecks assessments allow us to customize your care in ways that were never possible before.
ForceDecks Aren’t Just for Pro Athletes—They’re for You
One of the biggest myths about cutting-edge technology is that it’s only for elite athletes. But at Coastal Sports and Wellness, our philosophy is simple: every body deserves elite care.
Here’s how we’re using ForceDecks with everyday clients at North End:
• Post-Injury Rehab: We objectively track your recovery milestones and ensure you’re not returning to sport or life until your strength and symmetry are where they should be.
• Prevention and Screening: We identify imbalances or inefficiencies before they cause injury.
• Strength Programming: We tailor strength training plans based on your personal movement signature.
• Athlete Testing Days: Want to know your vertical jump, rate of force development, or balance stability? We run full athletic performance panels using ForceDecks.
What to Expect in a ForceDecks Session with Us
Every session starts with you—your goals, your background, and your body’s story. Once you’re on the ForceDecks platform, we’ll guide you through specific movements tailored to your case, such as:
• Countermovement Jumps
• Isometric Mid-Thigh Pulls
• Single Leg Squats or Landings
• Balance and Postural Assessments
Within seconds, we get instant feedback. The system visualizes data on screen, which we analyze alongside our clinical observations. The results help guide our next treatment or training steps.
Best of all? We share this data with you. No jargon, no confusion—just meaningful insights you can understand.
Real Results, Backed by Data
Since integrating ForceDecks into our North End location, we’ve seen incredible breakthroughs:
• Clients recovering from ACL surgery returning to sport 20–30% faster—with more confidence.
• Dancers and runners identifying force leaks they’d never noticed, leading to more fluid, powerful movement.
• Chronic low back pain clients discovering asymmetries in lower limb loading, leading to smarter rehab strategies.
It’s one thing to feel better—it’s another to see the numbers prove it.
Why It Matters
In a world of guesswork and generic protocols, we choose precision, personalization, and progress. The Vald ForceDecks help us live up to that standard—right here at our North End clinic.
We’re not just collecting data. We’re collecting your story in motion, helping us design better, smarter care—whether you’re a weekend warrior, an elite competitor, or someone who simply wants to move without pain.
