THE AxIT SYSTEM
The AxIT system is state of the art technology utilised at our clinic. In fact, we are currently one of the few clinics nationwide to have access to this system, using technology which has previously been limited to elite sporting clubs.
​
What does it do?
There are numerous components to this system (force plates, strain gauge & hand-held dynamometer), which combined together allow us to test & measure the strength & rate of force of many different muscles and movements.
​
What conditions can it be used for?
From the head to your toes, the system can test the strength of many movements & muscles.
​
We find it useful for:
-
Soft tissue injuries: hamstring strains, calf strains, quadriceps strains
-
Low back, hip & groin pain
-
Neck and shoulder pain
-
ACL rehabilitation & return to play, knee pain
-
Tendinopathy/tendinitis: Achilles, patellar, plantar fasciitis, hamstring tendinopathy, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow
-
Sporting performance: do you have the required strength & rate of force to play your sport (i.e. running, golf, AFL)?
-
Injury prevention: identifying weakness to correct BEFORE an injury occurs
-
Recurrent injuries: keep getting injured? The AxIT system can help explore why
