AxIT Strength Testing for Altona
Our Axit system If you are not measuring, you are guessing
At Fortify Movement & Health we use the AxIT system for gaining objective muscle testing. This is state-of-the-art technology, previously only available to elite sporting clubs. Only a few Exercise Clinics in Australia have access to this system. We’re one of them!

What is the AxIT System?
At Fortify Movement & Health, we use the AxIT system to take the guesswork out of your rehab and training. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply working towards better movement and performance, AxIT gives us the tools to measure exactly how your body is functioning.
So, what is AxIT?
The AxIT system is an advanced assessment tool designed to help health professionals—like physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and accredited exercise scientists—accurately measure your strength, balance, and movement. It uses a set of portable, easy-to-use devices to collect real-time data on how well your muscles and joints are working during functional tasks.
Rather than relying on observation alone, AxIT provides precise, objective measurements. This allows us to clearly identify any imbalances, weaknesses, or asymmetries that might be holding you back or putting you at risk of injury. We can compare your results to population norms, monitor your progress over time, and tailor your exercise program to what your body actually needs.
One of the biggest benefits of using AxIT is transparency. The system generates easy-to-understand reports that we can review together. This keeps you informed, engaged, and empowered in your own rehab or fitness journey. Plus, these reports can be shared with your wider healthcare team—GPs, specialists, coaches, or support coordinators—helping everyone stay on the same page.
Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, an NDIS participant, or someone working on your mobility and strength, AxIT helps ensure your treatment is targeted, measurable, and meaningful.
