Chiropractic Care

VALD products are the backbone of our data-driven approach. They measure strength, power, balance, and movement more accurately than traditional methods, allowing us to detect imbalances, track improvements, and design highly personalised programs.

• ForceFrame – Measures isometric strength in key joints such as knees, shoulders, and hips. Identifies weaknesses and asymmetries to design targeted rehab and track progress.
• ForceDecks – Dual force plates that assess power, balance, and load distribution. Used for safe return-to-sport testing, injury prevention, and optimising movement mechanics.
• VALD Dynamo – Measures joint-specific strength and control, giving detailed insights for rehabilitation and performance tracking.

Game Ready combines cold therapy with intermittent compression to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It’s particularly effective after surgery, acute injuries, or intense training sessions, helping clients recover faster with less discomfort.

NormaTec uses dynamic compression to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance recovery. Ideal for post-training recovery, rehab programs, or competition preparation, it helps muscles recover faster so you can train smarter and more consistently.

Compex uses electrical impulses to activate muscles, improve strength, coordination, and endurance. In rehab, it prevents muscle loss when traditional loading is limited. In performance training, it enhances activation and accelerates gains. Combined with exercise, it ensures muscles are fully engaged and recovering efficiently.

BFR uses specialised cuffs to partially restrict blood flow during low-load exercises. This enables muscles to grow stronger without heavy weights, making it ideal for early rehabilitation, post-surgery recovery, or anyone who cannot safely lift heavy loads. BFR safely builds strength, endurance, and functional capacity while protecting healing tissue.

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured or tight tissue. RSWT stimulates blood flow, reduces chronic pain, and promotes tissue regeneration. It’s particularly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendon injuries, and chronic muscular tightness.

At SPL, we use RSWT to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue or adhesions that limit mobility. It’s a safe, drug-free method to relieve pain, improve function, and speed up recovery—often reducing the need for longer treatment programs. RSWT is frequently combined with physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises for long-term results.

By combining VALD measurement, recovery systems like Game Ready and NormaTec, performance tools like Compex, innovative BFR training, and Radial Shockwave Therapy, we can assess, treat, and optimise your body like no other clinic in Queenstown. Each tool is integrated with our physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and strength & conditioning services to create a seamless, evidence-driven approach that maximises results.
