About our South Yarra service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in South Yarra

The Monash Freeway gives us a direct run into Stonnington from Dandenong North. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in South Yarra (3141), usually around half an hour 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: An 85-year-old in South Yarra has had two falls this year. Our EP completes a falls-risk assessment and delivers an eight-week strength and balance program at home, funded through Support at Home.
