About our McKinnon service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in McKinnon

The Monash Freeway and Dandenong Road give us a direct route into Glen Eira. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in McKinnon (3204), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Caulfield Hospital or Sandringham 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 McKinnon 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.
