About our Ringwood North service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Ringwood North

EastLink puts Maroondah within easy reach of our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Ringwood North (3134), usually about 25 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Wantirna Health, 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 36-year-old NDIS participant in Ringwood North 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.
