About our Sandringham service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Sandringham

Bayside's south-eastern suburbs are a short drive west of our base along South Road and the Nepean Highway. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Sandringham (3191), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Sandringham Hospital or the Kingston Centre, 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 72-year-old in Sandringham with Parkinson's disease wants to keep gardening safely. Our EP builds a home program for balance, leg strength and getting up from the ground and checks progress with a falls-risk test every eight weeks.
