Growing Younger Physio
Welcome to Growing Younger Physio — where pain-free living meets functional fitness after 45.
My name is Alex Blazhevskyiy. I’m a registered physiotherapist with over 21 years of experience helping thousands of clients in private practice here in New Zealand. My passion is helping adults over 45 overcome injuries, manage arthritis and joint pain, and stay active — using gentle strength, stretching, and mobility routines that actually work.
On this channel, you’ll get clear, easy-to-follow videos created with real-life people in mind — not gym junkies. Whether you're easing back into movement or trying to stay independent as you age, you’ll find practical physio-backed strategies to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
I demonstrate exercises and strategies that I use in my clinic to help people over 45 overcome their injuries and get back on track.
Subscribe now to start moving with confidence — and reclaim the freedom of pain-free daily movement.
