About our Burwood East service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Burwood East

EastLink and the Eastern Freeway make Whitehorse a straightforward drive from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Burwood East (3151), usually about 20 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Peter James 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 44-year-old NDIS participant in Burwood East with an acquired brain injury wants more energy through the week. Our EP combines supervised gym sessions with a short home routine and tracks fatigue alongside the OT.
