Move Freely With Exercise Physiology

Struggling with pain, stiffness, or just not moving the way you used to? Exercise Physiologists help you move better, get stronger, and stay injury-free.

Life’s too short to be in pain.

Whether it’s from injury, a health condition or everyday life, over time our bodies can stop moving the way they used to.

Stiffness builds. Pain lingers. Strength fades. Risks increase. But the good news is, you don’t have to ‘just deal with it!’

At Victory, we believe movement is medicine. Our Exercise Physiologists help you build strength, increase flexibility, improve balance and move freely without restrictions.

It’s not just exercise. It’s expert support tailored to your body, goals and lifestyle — so you can feel better, move better, and take control of your health for good.

So if you’re sick of pain holding you back, book an appointment with our exercise physiologists today!

What does an exercise physiologist do?

An exercise physiologist is a qualified health professional who uses tailored exercise programs to help manage injuries, chronic conditions, and improve overall movement, strength, and health. They assess how your body moves, identify imbalances or weaknesses, and create safe plans to improve strength and function.

    Assess how your body moves.

    Exercise physiologists perform movement assessments to identify imbalances, weaknesses, or limitations in strength, mobility, balance, and coordination.

  • A person receiving acupuncture treatment with thin needles inserted into their skin on their back.

    Create personalised exercise programs

    Each program is tailored to your individual goals, health conditions, lifestyle and physical capabilities, ensuring safe and effective progression over time.

  • A woman exercises on a stability ball while a trainer assists her in a gym.

    Improve strength, mobility and balance

    Targeted exercises help restore movement, build muscle, enhance joint stability, and reduce the risk of falls or injury. Difficulty can increase over time for ongoing growth.

  • A person receiving a massage or treatment on their back in a spa or clinic setting, with a therapist applying pressure or therapy.

    Provide ongoing coaching and support
