At Pain & Performance Coach, we deliver a service you rarely find outside elite sport and research settings: technology-driven Functional Capacity Exams (FCEs).
What we use
VALD and Beyond Power systems for objective strength, power, balance, and movement testing
Additional validated tools, plus AI-assisted analysis and the latest research to interpret results with precision
What we measure
A full musculoskeletal snapshot of your functional health—from pain and range of motion to task-level ability across daily activities, work demands, and sport.
Why it matters
Your data is benchmarked against normative values and population averages to generate a tailored report, so you can:
Quantify impairment/disability with defensible, objective metrics
Track performance capacity and progress over time
Make clear return-to-work, return-to-play, or plan-of-care decisions
Bottom line
Modern tools make it possible to measure what you can actually do, not just how you feel. Our FCE turns that into actionable numbers you—and your care team—can trust.
