World Class Equipment
At Olympus Lifestyle Co, we pride ourselves on bringing world-class sports science technology to athletes in Bendigo. Our clinic is equipped with VALD Performance Technology, the same systems trusted by elite sporting organisations worldwide including the AFL, NBA and Premier League. Whether you’re returning from injury, chasing peak performance, or wanting precise insights into your body, our testing helps take the guesswork out of training and rehabilitation.
Forcedecks
The ForceDecks are a dual forceplate system we use to measure an athletes power with precision. Allowing us to assess jump performance, landing mechanics, and lower limb asymmetries. This provides crucial insights for:
- ACL and lower limb injury rehabilitation
- Power profiling for athletes
- Monitoring fatigue and readiness to train
Why it matters: ForceDecks help us identify weaknesses you can’t see with the naked eye and track your return-to-sport milestones with precision.
Nordbord
The NordBord is the gold standard for hamstring injury prevention and rehab. It measures eccentric hamstring strength with accuracy unmatched by traditional gym-based testing. It is perfect for:
- Athletes in sprinting and change-of-direction sports (football, netball, athletics)
- Post-hamstring or ACL rehab patients
- Anyone looking to reduce their risk of soft tissue injuries
Forceframe
The ForceFrame is one of the most versatile strength testing systems available. It can test isometric strength across multiple joints including the hips, shoulders, knees, and ankles. Ideal for:
- Shoulder testing for overhead athletes
- Hip/groin strength for football and netball players
- Knee and ankle profiling post-injury
- Baseline and pre-season screenings
Why Performance Testing Matters
Traditional physiotherapy assessment relies on clinical tests and observation. While these remain essential, VALD technology provides objective, measurable data on strength, power, and asymmetries. This means:
- More accurate diagnosis and rehab planning
- Clear tracking of progress over time
- Evidence-based return-to-sport decisions
- Tailored training to maximise athletic performance
By combining physiotherapy expertise with cutting-edge testing, Olympus delivers a premium, data-driven approach to rehabilitation and performance.
Who Should Book A Testing Session
- Athletes returning from injury
- Players looking to reduce injury risk
- Teams and individuals wanting pre-season screening
- Anyone chasing objective data to improve their performance
At Olympus Lifestyle Co, this technology isn’t just for elite athletes — we make it accessible to the Bendigo community while delivering the same high standards you’d find in professional sport.
