About our Ashburton service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Ashburton

The Monash and Eastern freeways bring Boroondara's leafy suburbs within about half an hour of our base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Ashburton (3147), usually about 25 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Caulfield Hospital or the Peter James Centre, 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 27-year-old NDIS participant in Ashburton with autism wants to join a local gym. Our EP visits the gym together, sets up a visual program and gradually fades support.
