Force Plates Physiotherapy
What Is Force Plates Physiotherapy?
Force plates physiotherapy uses specialist testing equipment to measure how your body produces, absorbs and transfers force during movement. At True Physio, we use force plates as part of our wider physiotherapy approach to assess balance, strength, power, symmetry and movement control.
This can be helpful after injury, surgery, long-term pain or changes in performance during sport or exercise. Rather than relying only on how a movement looks or feels, force plates give measurable feedback on how each side of the body is working. This can show differences between your left and right leg, highlight reduced power and identify areas that need more focused rehabilitation.
Force plates physiotherapy can be used during assessments, return-to-sport testing and rehabilitation reviews. This objective data helps your physiotherapist understand how your body is performing during rehabilitation, training and return-to-sport testing.

Benefits Of Force Plates Physiotherapy
The main benefit of force plates physiotherapy is that it gives objective data about your movement and performance. This helps your physiotherapist understand how your body is coping during rehabilitation, training and return-to-sport testing rather than relying on observation alone.
Force plate testing can help identify strength imbalances, asymmetries between sides of the body, reduced power, landing issues and poor weight distribution. This is particularly useful for people recovering from injuries such as ACL injuries, ankle sprains, tendon problems, muscle strains and post-operative rehabilitation.
It can also help track progress during sports physiotherapy and structured return-to-sport or exercise programmes. By measuring performance over time, your physiotherapist can see what is improving, where more rehabilitation is needed and whether movement quality is becoming more consistent. This can support safer progressions, better exercise choices and clearer rehabilitation decisions.
For many patients, force plate data also makes rehabilitation more motivating. You can see your progress in numbers, which gives you a clearer understanding of how your body is improving.
