About our Dandenong South service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Dandenong South

Our base is in Dandenong North, so Greater Dandenong's suburbs are our closest and most regular visits. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Dandenong South (3175), usually about 10 to 15 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Dandenong Hospital or Casey Hospital, we can carry on your rehabilitation at home. We can also involve interpreters for families who prefer another language. 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: An 81-year-old in Dandenong South has had two falls this year. Our EP completes a falls-risk assessment and delivers an eight-week strength and balance program at home, funded through Support at Home.
