About our Albert Park service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Albert Park

The Monash Freeway and Kings Way connect our base to Port Phillip's bayside suburbs. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Albert Park (3206), usually about 35 to 40 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from The Alfred or St Vincent's Hospital, we can carry on your rehabilitation at home. We see adults and older people with disability, chronic conditions and falls risk and build programs around what they want to get back to doing.

Example: A 79-year-old in Albert Park with Parkinson's disease wants to keep gardening safely. Our EP builds a home program for balance, leg strength and getting up from the ground and checks progress with a falls-risk test every eight weeks.
