Working… or hardly working? 💪📊

At WA Health Group, we don’t guess. We measure.

Last week, our Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology teams took part in an in-house VALD technology training session led by Josh Wong and Nic Foster, focused on sharpening how we assess, treat, and track client progress.

Using VALD assessment systems, the team upskilled in:

✔️ Capturing objective strength data

✔️ Monitoring rehab progress with clarity
✔️ Making return-to-sport and return-to-work decisions with greater confidence

This means your rehab is guided by measurable data.

By integrating precise strength and movement metrics into care, we’re enhancing treatment accuracy, improving accountability, and helping you return to activity stronger, safer, and more confident.
