About our Menzies Creek service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Menzies Creek

The hills suburbs we visit have steep streets, sloping blocks and bushland and are an easy drive up from our base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Menzies Creek (3159), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Angliss Hospital or Casey 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 27-year-old NDIS participant in Menzies Creek with autism wants to join a local gym. Our EP visits the gym together, sets up a visual program and gradually fades support.
