About our Surrey Hills service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Surrey Hills

The Monash and Eastern freeways bring Boroondara's leafy suburbs within about half an hour of our base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Surrey Hills (3127), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation 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 24-year-old NDIS participant in Surrey Hills with cerebral palsy wants to walk to the local shops. Our EP runs a mix of gait training, strength work and community walks, building distance each fortnight.
