Flex Forward Physical Therapy & Wellness, LLC provides baseball-specific performance and injury-risk assessments using VALD performance testing technology. These assessments are non-invasive and involve physical testing designed to measure strength, power, force output, movement capacity, side-to-side asymmetries, and injury-risk indicators related to throwing, hitting, and overall baseball performance. Testing may require maximal or near-maximal physical effort. Assessments will be conducted for both adult and youth baseball players participating in the event.

I understand that participation may result in temporary muscle soreness, fatigue, or mild discomfort lasting up to 24–72 hours. There is a small risk of muscle strain or aggravation of a pre-existing condition, particularly in areas commonly stressed in baseball such as the shoulder, elbow, hips, and core. I acknowledge that symptoms may change during or after testing and agree to notify staff of any pain, dizziness, or unusual discomfort.

I understand that this testing is not medical treatment or diagnosis, but a baseball performance and injury-risk screening tool. Results may be used to guide training, throwing, and conditioning recommendations but do not replace medical advice. I confirm that I (or my child, if applicable) am physically able to participate and have disclosed all relevant medical history, injuries, throwing restrictions, or limitations.

I acknowledge that testing may take place in an open or non-private setting, including gym or performance areas, where third parties not affiliated with Flex Forward PT may be present and may observe the testing process or overhear limited health-related information. I understand that a private space may be requested if needed.

I authorize Flex Forward Physical Therapy & Wellness, LLC and its associates to collect, store, and use performance data generated during testing. I also consent to the collection and use of photos and/or videos taken during testing for educational, informational, or promotional purposes, including baseball performance education.

I have read and fully understand the above statements and voluntarily consent to participate in baseball performance and injury-risk testing conducted by Flex Forward Physical Therapy & Wellness, LLC.
