About our Carrum Downs service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Carrum Downs

EastLink brings Frankston's suburbs within about 20 minutes of our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Carrum Downs (3201), usually about 25 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Frankston Hospital or Dandenong 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 Carrum Downs 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.
