About our Doncaster East service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Doncaster East

EastLink makes Manningham an easy drive north from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Doncaster East (3109), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Peter James 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: An 82-year-old in Doncaster East is returning home after a hip replacement. Through Support at Home, our EP visits weekly for strength, balance and stair practice so they can get back to daily walks.
