Travis Gaudet: Creating Tech-Informed Cohesion

In this episode of VALDCAST, our host Dylan sits down with Physiotherapist and ORKA Performance Co-Founder Travis Gaudet to unpack what meaningful technology integration looks like at a company level. 

Travis breaks down the growth of ORKA’s clinical and educational arms and explains how technology became a central driver in that evolution. 

We cover: 

✅ How to create cohesion in testing processes across multiple clinics

✅ How data can open conversations with patients during rehabilitation

✅ What defines a ‘mid-stage’ ACL athlete

✅ The need for criteria to inform transitions between stages during rehabilitation

With extensive experience using VALD systems, Travis blends advanced assessment and intervention tools with a sharp coaching eye, allowing him to capture better information and guide athletes more effectively through ACL rehabilitation. 

Whether you're a coach, physio, sports scientist or an athlete obsessed with improvement, this conversation gives you practical examples that dive deeper than a single metric or test, and inform what data can do to transform your practice.
