About our Hughesdale service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Hughesdale

Monash sits right next to our base along the Monash Freeway, so visits are quick and easy to schedule. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Hughesdale (3166), usually about 20 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Monash Medical Centre or Caulfield 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 58-year-old in Hughesdale 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.
