About our Monbulk service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Monbulk

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 Monbulk (3793), usually about 35 to 40 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Angliss Hospital or Maroondah 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 68-year-old in Monbulk with Parkinson's disease wants to keep gardening safely. Our EP builds a home program for balance, leg strength and getting up from the ground and checks progress with a falls-risk test every eight weeks.
