Exercise physiology in Baw Baw.
We treat Baw Baw residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 23 minutes and 14 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Baw Baw residents.
Small-farm and acreage owners around Baw Baw carry a familiar pattern of strain — backs and shoulders from fencing and feeding, knees and hips from years on uneven ground. It's the kind of wear that responds well to a properly progressed strength program rather than the same stretches repeated indefinitely, which is where exercise physiology sits apart from a standard physio block.
At about 14 kilometres and a 23-minute drive via Range Road, Baw Baw is close enough that a weekly program is realistic for most people, which matters for rehab after injury or surgery where consistency in the early weeks makes a real difference. We also see exercise used as part of mental-health care plans here, run alongside a GP.
Medicare, private, and NDIS funding are all available depending on your circumstances.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Can I do a weekly exercise physiology program from Baw Baw?
Yes, at 23 minutes away it's one of the more manageable regular drives we see, which suits the weekly sessions that early-stage rehab after injury or surgery usually needs.
Is exercise physiology covered under a mental-health care plan from Baw Baw?
It can be, alongside other supports, when your GP includes it in a broader mental-health treatment plan. Medicare rebates apply with the right referral — ask your GP or call us to check.
How is an exercise physiologist different from a personal trainer?
An accredited exercise physiologist is a four-year university-trained clinician registered with ESSA, qualified to assess and prescribe exercise for diagnosed medical conditions, injuries, and chronic disease. Personal training is an unregulated industry credential. EP is the recognised discipline for medical exercise, and it's claimable under Medicare, NDIS, WorkCover, and DVA where a trainer isn't.
Can I claim exercise physiology on Medicare?
Yes, with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, which covers up to five rebated allied-health visits a year across all disciplines. EP is also funded through NDIS, WorkCover, CTP, and DVA, or you can book privately without any referral. Bring your plan or referral to the first appointment.
