About our Officer service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Officer

The Monash Freeway and Princes Highway link our base to Cardinia's growth-corridor suburbs and hills towns. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Officer (3809), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Casey 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 58-year-old in Officer 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.
