Why We Do This

The same tech elite programs use, one on one.

Most soft tissue injuries do not come out of nowhere. Asymmetries, weak single leg power and poor landing mechanics usually show up in the data long before they show up as pain. VALD force plate testing picks that up in minutes, the same technology used by professional strength and conditioning staff. Our physios turn that into a plain answer for you, what is actually going on, what to work on, and a program to get you there.

"I couldn't be happier with the service. Ruby and Michael were exceptional, getting me back up cycling and running after a chronic patella issue. The curve ball of the injured hammie midway through recovery was handled without issue."

What You Actually Get

More than a test. A number you can act on.

Your Real Numbers

Vertical jump height, single leg power output and left versus right asymmetry, measured, not estimated.

A Plain English Report

A written summary you keep, not raw data you have to interpret yourself.

Risk Flags, Clearly Marked

Anything sitting outside a safe range is flagged, so you know exactly what to watch.

A Program Built For You

Exercises targeted at your specific weak points, not a generic sheet handed to everyone.

A Baseline To Track

Retest down the track and see the actual change, not just how you feel.

Direct Physio Access

If something needs addressing, you're already talking to the physio who found it.

Sound Familiar?

Playing sport, but not sure what your body can actually handle.

  • An old injury that never quite settled
  • Wanting to know if you're at risk before pre-season starts
  • Not sure if you're actually ready to return to sport
  • Feeling like one side is weaker than the other but no proof either way
  • Tired of guessing what to actually work on in the gym
  • Want a program, not just another test with no follow-up

I couldn't be happier with the service. Ruby and Michael were exceptional, getting me back up cycling and running after a chronic patella issue. The curve ball of the injured hammie midway through recovery was handled without issue. Thanks guys.

My wife and I have both been going to Active Answers for many years now, not only for physiotherapy sessions but also for a long-term injury rehab program and their seniors strength and balance classes. I cannot do more than highly recommend both teams for their professionalism and expertise.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Still not sure? Call us on (02) 9907 9667 and we'll talk it through.

Not at all. Weekend and social players benefit just as much, especially if you've had a niggle that keeps coming back or you're just not sure what your body can handle.

A normal consult is built around a specific complaint. This session uses VALD force plate testing to give you objective numbers on asymmetry, power and landing mechanics, then builds a program from that data, whether or not you currently have pain.

Your physio walks you through the results on the day and builds you a personalised program based on what the data shows. Nothing is left for you to interpret on your own.

It's claimable on most private health funds as a physiotherapy consult. Rebate amounts vary by fund and level of cover, so check your policy for specifics.

Yes. It's a common way to check whether an injured side has actually caught back up to the other before you return to full training or competition.
