Sport Performance Testing
Identify your physiologic limits, target your body's energy pathways and train for peak performance. Proper testing and assessments provide the backbone to understanding one's strength, weaknesses and limiters. Any coach can write a training plan. Performance testing can help you find solutions when things don't go as planned.
VALD Testing
What is VALD? An Injury Prevention Movement Screening and Isometric Strength testing, using the cutting-edge VALD system. Testing allows our staff to program confidently with “train around” and “train with” options if you are recovering from injury or surgery, or provide insights for injury prevention.
Each testing session pays for 4 underserved Whatcom County students to receive baseline concussion testing.

New Equipment
We now have access to one of the most advanced strength testing systems available.
The ForceFrame Max allows our team to precisely measure isometric force across every major joint — giving us objective data to guide your treatment, track your progress, and get you back to doing what you do best. Whether you're an elite athlete pushing your limits or working through post-surgical recovery, it helps our practitioners make smarter, faster decisions on your behalf.
No guesswork. Just the clarity to move your care forward with confidence.
We can now see how you move — in ways the eye alone never could.
HumanTrak is a 3D markerless motion capture system that our team uses to assess how your body moves through a full range of exercises and positions. It flags compensatory patterns, identifies asymmetries, and gives our practitioners the kind of detailed movement data that used to require a full biomechanics lab.
The result? A clearer picture of what's driving your issue — and a more targeted plan to fix it.
