About our Carrum service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Carrum

Kingston's suburbs run from the Dingley and Braeside industrial and parkland areas to quiet residential streets, a short drive west of our base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Carrum (3197), 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 the Kingston 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 49-year-old NDIS participant in Carrum 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.
