Victor Wendling

Sports Physiotherapist

Hi, I’m Victor Wendling, a passionate and highly experienced physiotherapist, and I’m dedicated to helping you achieve your physical goals, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey. My background is rooted in elite sports, where I’ve spent years honing my expertise in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization.

My journey began with a BSc in Physiotherapy from Germany, followed by an MSc in Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy from Cardiff University. These rigorous programs laid the foundation for my specialization in musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, rehabilitation, and proactive injury prevention – critical areas I explored extensively during placements in elite sports environments.

Having competed in American Football at the top levels in both the EU and UK for over a decade, and successfully completed numerous triathlons and marathons, I understand firsthand the demands of training and the frustration of injuries. This personal experience, coupled with over six years of clinical practice, has refined my understanding of prehabilitation, injury management, and rehabilitation – all designed to help you stay active, avoid setbacks, and perform at your best, even while balancing a busy work life.

My professional experience spans multiple countries and elite sporting organizations, including:

  • Rugby: Blitzbocks 7s (South Africa), Cardiff Met Rugby, Pontypridd RFC (UK)
  • Football: Men’s and Women’s Bundesliga Football (Germany) and Stellenbosch FC (South Africa)
  • Olympics & Athletics: Swiss Olympic Federation (Switzerland)
  • Others: Cardiff Devils Hockey and Welsh Dragons Netball (UK)

Working with these top-tier athletes and teams has exposed me to diverse techniques and mindsets in injury management and performance enhancement. I’ve learned invaluable strategies to help athletes recover faster, prevent re-injury, and consistently perform at their peak.

Now, I’m excited to bring this world-class knowledge and experience directly to you. Whether you’re an international athlete striving for the podium, a local club player aiming for an edge, or someone simply looking to stay fit for life’s adventures, my goal is to empower you. I’m here to help you prevent injuries before they happen, accelerate your recovery when setbacks occur, and ultimately, ensure you stay fit and strong to achieve your unique goals.

Let’s work together to optimize your physical potential and keep you performing at your best.

Fun fact about me

When I was younger, I could never decide which sport I wanted to stick to, so I tried out most of them: Football, Basketball, Dancing, Triathlon, Rugby, Climbing, Taekwondo, Swimming and even fencing. Ultimately what stuck was American Football, which I played for 10 years all over Europe. Looking back to it, I should have continued some other sport, it would have saved me many injuries and buying all the expensive equipment.
