About our Carnegie service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Carnegie

The Monash Freeway and Dandenong Road give us a direct route into Glen Eira. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Carnegie (3163), 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 Monash Medical 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 72-year-old in Carnegie 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.
