Noosa fitness fanatics are cheering after the popular Activate Body studio recently moved from Sunshine Beach, to the beautiful Noosa River location at 3/8 Thomas Street, Noosaville.
The family business is loved by locals and was founded in 2018 by Dr Viktoria and Tom Molloy, with a focus of providing the best possible physiotherapy, rehabilitation and fitness classes to the Noosa community.
Activate Body has spent years helping locals, particularly individuals aged over 30 with an emphasis on chronic conditions and sustainable long term fitness.
“We take extra time to listen, assess and educate,“ Viktoria said.
“Our appointments may be longer than other clinics, but this is very deliberate. We know that patients respond better when they have a thorough understanding about their injuries and their recovery.
“Our goal at Activate Body is to help all our clients activate their bodies and activate their lives!“
Dr Viktoria Molloy (PhD, B.Physio (Hons) – Uni Melb) has been a practicing physiotherapist for 22 years.
She specialises in difficult to treat conditions (most specifically chronic back pain and hip/ knee osteoarthritis). Viktoria is also a GLAD Certified physiotherapist providing exercise programs for osteoarthritis patients.
As a mother of three active children, she has a special interest in running-related injuries and exercise in perimenopausal and menopausal years.
Tom Molloy is a performance coach, breath coach, and exercise specialist.
After many years of competitive high level sport, Tom has first hand experience of managing osteoarthritis, and has assisted many over 30s clients in regaining their strength, confidence, and enjoyment in the things they love.
Tom takes individual exercise sessions, and group classes, and his well-known Breath, Fire and Ice Workshop.
The Noosa Today team tried this workshop and I’ve never felt more relaxed and content. I would definitely recommend booking the session with your team to help reset and unwind.
Tom has a special interest in natural management of pain and inflammation, as well as using breath-work to manage mental health.
“Martha Ryan (nee Kneale) joins our team this year after returning from maternity leave,“ Tom said.
“Martha is a highly accomplished physiotherapist and elite athlete who has a special interest in rugby and swimming related injuries (most specifically shoulders). She is skilled in sports physiotherapy and Pilates and is a welcome addition to our team.“
Dr Lan Gottinger is a German trained GP, who is now living in Noosa and developing a passion for integrative medicine, and the role of yoga in healthcare.
“We are very fortunate to have Dr Lan offering yoga classes at Activate Body – and with her strong medical background she offers valuable insights into how yoga can assist with many areas of health,“ Viktoria said.
