About our Harkaway service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Harkaway

Casey's suburbs mix established streets with newer estates close to our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Harkaway (3806), usually about 25 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Casey 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 78-year-old in Harkaway 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.
