Today we have the honor of interviewing co-founders William Kodama (CEO) and Evan Magnusson (CTO) of Valor Biomechanics, a leading movement assessment platform that helps practitioners assess injury risks and speed of rehabilitation.
Founded in 2018, Valor Biomechanics is an Austin, TX startup with a mission of keeping athletes on the field. By helping Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and Performance Coaches streamline their screenings and assessments with real-time objective data, practitioners can evaluate the risk of injury and symmetry of essential movement quality. From these baseline collections, staff can then track rehabilitative & return-to-play protocols and continue an objective process of physical development.
Instead of going to a biomechanics lab, the purpose-built Valor platform allows a practitioner to conduct comprehensive assessments of an athlete's range of motion, timing, sequencing, and acceleration in less than 10 minutes! .
Here is a video showcasing Valor Biomechanics product in action:
Valor Biomechanics currently works with the Minnesota Twins (MLB), Nashville SC (MLS), and private instruction facilities and private schools in Texas and California.
📝Show Notes: Through this interview, we touched on their respective backgrounds, their company and product. We also discussed the benefits for teams to use their products and their business model. Lastly we touched on their plans for the next 12 months.
