Why Athletes Should Use the AXIT Strength & Performance Assessment

If you’re serious about performance, guessing isn’t good enough.

The AxIT assessment gives athletes objective data on strength and power, so training is built around what your body actually needs, not generic programs.
It helps identify:
• Strength deficits holding you back
• Asymmetries increasing injury risk
• Power and force production gaps
• Clear priorities for smarter training

Whether you’re returning from injury or chasing a performance edge, AxIT gives you a roadmap with progress you can measure.
Train smarter. Perform stronger. Reduce injury risk.

What is an Exercise Physiologist (EP)? 🤔
EPs are university trained clinicians who specialise in exercise prescription for performance, health and chronic conditions.

That means we work with:
🏆 Athletes & active individuals - testing strength and power, improving performance, reducing injury risk and building return-to-sport plans.
👥 General population & clinical clients - using exercise to manage injuries, chronic conditions, pain, mobility and overall health.

Whether your goal is to run faster, lift heavier, return from injury, manage a condition or just feel better day-to-day, EPs use assessment, education and individualised programming to get you there.
Exercise with purpose. 💪

Did you know that proper preparation and expert guidance can prevent up to 50% of sports injuries? 🏃‍♂️

Sports injuries often occur due to muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or inadequate warm-up routines. Our experienced physiotherapists work with athletes of all levels to identify potential risk factors before they become problems.

Through comprehensive movement assessments and personalized exercise programs, we help you build resilience and maintain peak performance. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, prevention is always better than treatment.

🔥❄️ Contrast therapy: your circulation’s favorite workout ❄️🔥

Switching between hot and cold water creates a natural pump effect in the body. Heat opens up blood vessels, boosting flow and relaxation, while cold causes them to constrict, helping reduce inflammation and energize your system. The back‑and‑forth encourages fresh circulation, supports recovery, and leaves you feeling refreshed from the inside out. Come try it out!
