About our Vermont South service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Vermont South

EastLink and the Eastern Freeway make Whitehorse a straightforward drive from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Vermont South (3133), usually about 20 minutes from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from the Peter James Centre 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: An 81-year-old in Vermont South 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.
