About our Vermont service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Vermont

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

If you're coming home from Wantirna Health or the Peter James 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 61-year-old in Vermont with knee osteoarthritis has been told to stay active but finds walking painful. Our EP starts with water-based sessions at a local pool, then moves to land-based strength work.
