Sports physio and ACL rehab near Windsor
North West Physio looks after Valleys Rugby League, and principal physiotherapist Vince Travia has a background in sports injury rehab and rehab after orthopaedic surgery. The clinic has its own gym and rehab space, so testing and training happen in the same place as treatment.
VALD strength testing
VALD is strength-testing equipment used by physios and sports teams. It measures strength and power as numbers, so we can see the difference between your left and right side and track it through rehab. At Lutwyche we use three VALD tools:
| Tool | What it tests | Where it helps |
|---|---|---|
| NordBord | Hamstring strength, left vs right | Hamstring strains, and checking for imbalances that raise the risk of re-injury |
| ForceFrame | Strength at the hips, knees, ankles and shoulders, measured while the muscle holds still | Early rehab, when moving under load isn’t safe yet, and recurring injuries |
| ForceDecks | Two force plates that measure how you jump, land and balance | Late-stage rehab, close to returning to sport |
We also use blood flow restriction (BFR) training: a cuff on the upper arm or thigh partly limits blood flow while you exercise with light weights, to build strength when heavy weights aren’t safe yet. Read more about blood flow restriction training at Lutwyche. Read more about VALD at Lutwyche.
ACL rehab
We run ACL rehab for people having a reconstruction and for people managing an ACL tear without surgery. How long each stage takes depends on your knee, not the calendar.
- Early rehab: settle swelling, get your knee straight and your quads working. After surgery, your surgeon’s instructions set the limits. BFR training can help here.
- Strength: gym-based work, with VALD testing to track each leg.
- Running and agility: a staged return to running, jumping, landing and changing direction.
- Return to sport: checking you’re ready before full training and games.
