About our Mitcham service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Mitcham

EastLink and the Eastern Freeway make Whitehorse a straightforward drive from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Mitcham (3132), usually about 20 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Wantirna Health, 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 Mitcham 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.
