Are you looking to take your physiotherapy and strength training routine to the next level? Imagine a cutting-edge system that can provide targeted, precise training like never before. Strong back, shoulders, hips, knees, feet: you’ll be unstoppable!
In the world of physiotherapy and strength training, advancements in technology continue to revolutionise the way we approach rehabilitation and muscle strengthening. Traditional techniques are being replaced by sophisticated systems that offer unparalleled benefits.
Enter the AxIT System and MedX, a powerful game-changing combination for physiotherapists and fitness enthusiasts. With their innovative approach and precise measurement capabilities, these systems are setting new standards in the world of strength training.
This dynamic duo is reshaping the landscape of physiotherapy and maximising results for individuals seeking to improve their strength and mobility.
I. AxIT System for strength training
The AxIT System is a tool used by physiotherapists, athletic trainers, and strength and conditioning coaches to assess a person’s strength, power, and quality of movement.
It uses a force plate and muscle dynamometer to collect data on how much force a person can produce and how quickly they can move. This information can be used to identify weaknesses and imbalances that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
It’s what we use with professional athletes, so why wouldn’t we use it with you?
The benefits of using the AxIT System for strength training
1. Objective data
The AxIT System provides objective data on your strength and power, which can be used to track your progress over time. This can be motivating and help you stay on track with your training program.
2. Improved accuracy of muscle strength assessments
Isokinetic testing is considered more reliable and accurate than other types of muscle strength testing, such as concentric or eccentric testing.
3. More effective rehabilitation
The AxIT System can be used to develop individualised rehabilitation programs that are more effective at improving muscle strength and function. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
Let’s get you to your goal and keep you performing there forever!
4. Reduced risk of injury
The AxIT System can be used to identify areas of weakness that may put an athlete at risk of injury.
5. Improved performance
The AxIT System can be used to develop training programs that help athletes improve their strength, power, and endurance.
It’s important to note that the AxIT system itself is a testing and assessment tool. Strength training benefits will come from a well-designed program based on the results of the AxIT assessment, implemented by an experienced physiotherapist.
II. MedX for strength training
MedX is a company that manufactures physiotherapy equipment that can be used for strength training. MedX equipment is designed to isolate specific muscle groups and provide a controlled range of motion. This can be beneficial for people who are recovering from an injury or who have pain.
The benefits of using MedX for back strength training
Strong backs know no pain! MedX equipment offers several advantages over traditional free weights or bodyweight exercises for strength training:
1. Safety and injury reduction
MedX machines limit movement to a specific path, reducing the risk of improper form and injury. This is especially helpful for beginners or those recovering from injuries or surgery of their back.
2. Focus on targeted muscles
The machines isolate specific muscle groups in the back, ensuring they get a thorough workout without relying on other muscles for stabilisation.
3. Accommodating strength curves
MedX machines are designed to match the natural strength curve of your joints. This means the resistance is highest when your muscles are strongest and ease up during weaker points in the range of motion. This allows for a more efficient and effective workout for your back.
4. Precise weight adjustments
MedX machines allow weight adjustments in smaller increments compared to free weights. This makes it easier to gradually progress your workouts and target specific muscle weaknesses of the back.
5. Faster workouts
Because MedX machines streamline the exercise process and minimise setup time, you can achieve a more efficient workout in less time for your back.
6. Spinal rehabilitation
MedX equipment is particularly recognised for its effectiveness in strengthening the back and core muscles, which is crucial for treating and preventing chronic back pain.
How AxIT System and Medx can be used together in physiotherapy
The AxIT System assesses a patient’s baseline strength and identifies any areas of weakness. This information can then be used to develop a personalised physiotherapy program that includes exercises on MedX machines. The AxIT System can also be used to track progress over time, which can help to ensure that the physiotherapy program is effective.

Final thoughts
Incorporating the AxIT System and MedX equipment into your athletic / physiotherapy strength training program can help you achieve incredible results in terms of recovery, strength, and overall wellness.
These innovative technologies offer a safe and effective way to target specific muscle groups and track progress with precision.
So, why wait? Take your body to the next level and start experiencing the benefits of AxIT System and MedX today!
