About our Pearcedale service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Pearcedale

EastLink and Peninsula Link connect our Dandenong North base to the northern Mornington Peninsula. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Pearcedale (3912), usually about 35 to 40 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Frankston 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 66-year-old in Pearcedale 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.
