About our Richmond service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Richmond

The Monash Freeway runs straight into Richmond and Cremorne from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Richmond (3121), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from St Vincent's Hospital or The Alfred, 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 49-year-old NDIS participant in Richmond with an acquired brain injury wants more energy through the week. Our EP combines supervised gym sessions with a short home routine and tracks fatigue alongside the OT.
