About our South Melbourne service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in South Melbourne

The Monash Freeway and Kings Way connect our base to Port Phillip's bayside suburbs. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in South Melbourne (3205), usually about 35 to 40 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from The Alfred or St Vincent's 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 58-year-old in South Melbourne with type 2 diabetes has a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Our EP sets up a simple strength and walking program at home and teaches blood sugar monitoring around exercise.
