About our Dandenong service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Dandenong

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 (3175), usually only a few minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Dandenong Hospital or Monash Medical Centre, 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: A 52-year-old in Dandenong with type 2 diabetes has a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Our EP sets up a simple strength and walking program at home and teaches blood sugar monitoring around exercise.
