About our Lysterfield service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Lysterfield

Knox borders our Dandenong North base, with family homes on hilly streets near the Dandenong Ranges. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Lysterfield (3156), usually about 20 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Angliss 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 52-year-old in Lysterfield 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.
