About our Balwyn service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Balwyn

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 Balwyn (3103), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre or Box Hill 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 74-year-old in Balwyn is returning home after a hip replacement. Through Support at Home, our EP visits weekly for strength, balance and stair practice so they can get back to daily walks.
