About

Ted Bezemer has spent nearly 30 years helping athletes recover from injury and perform at their best. But AXIO didn't start as a business idea — it started with his own injury.

After dislocating his shoulder playing hockey — tearing both the rotator cuff and labrum — Ted faced the same decision he'd guided countless patients through: surgery, or find another way back. He wanted more than a return to baseline. He wanted to throw a ball with his son again, keep competing, and come back stronger and more in control than before.

The Gap

As Ted looked for a way back, he noticed a gap. Rehab tools were good at building control, but usually at low resistance. Traditional strength training built force, but rarely control. Almost nothing did both well, at a high level, at the same time.

He didn't want a rehab tool that could double as a workout. He wanted a training tool that could carry someone all the way from early rehab through elite performance — one that got harder as they got better.

The Invention

Ted built something that forced the body to constantly sense, adapt, and produce force in real time, using lighter loads and less joint stress than traditional training — but with a training effect that showed up faster.

He called it Centripetal Training. And it worked: Ted rebuilt his shoulder, and returned to training and competing without limitation.

The BIGGER DISCOVERY

Today, AXIO Trainers are used by rehabilitation professionals, performance coaches, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes ranging from youth competitors to professionals.

What began as a search for better recovery revealed something much bigger: the same qualities that help people recover from injury are often the same qualities that help them perform, stay active, and move with confidence throughout life.

The mission remains the same:
To help people develop the strength, control, and confidence to move and perform at their best.
