About our Pakenham South service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Pakenham South

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 Pakenham South (3810), usually about 35 to 40 minutes 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 61-year-old in Pakenham South with knee osteoarthritis has been told to stay active but finds walking painful. Our EP starts with water-based sessions at a local pool, then moves to land-based strength work.
