Exercise physiology in Carrick.
We treat Carrick residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 18 minutes and 20 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Carrick residents.
Grazing families around Carrick tend to carry the same physical story: years of lifting feed, moving stock, and working fences that eventually shows up as back, hip, or knee pain that a few physio sessions won't fully settle. Exercise physiology takes that further, building strength in a way that's matched to farm work rather than a generic program.
At about 18 minutes via the Hume Motorway, close to 20 kilometres, Carrick is close enough to our Goulburn clinic that a weekly program is realistic during the early weeks, tapering off as strength returns. We also manage chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease from Carrick, where consistent supervised exercise makes a real difference over months.
Medicare, private, WorkCover, and DVA funding are all available.
Getting here
The drive in from Carrick.
Carrick sits north-east of Goulburn, about 20 km from the clinic and roughly 18 minutes away via the Hume Motorway. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.
What we treat
What Carrick patients see us for.
Exercise physiology is exercise prescribed like medicine. Our EPs are ESSA-accredited and four-year university trained, and they're the right call for chronic disease, cancer recovery, getting strong again after surgery, and the longer rehab arcs that don't fit inside a physio block.
- Chronic conditionstype 2 diabetes, heart disease, COPD
- Building strength safely for back, knee, and hip pain
- Rehab after injury or surgery
- Cancer rehabduring and after treatment
- Falls prevention and strength for older adults

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Can exercise physiology help with long-term farm-related back pain from Carrick?
Yes — it's suited to exactly that kind of wear-and-tear injury, building strength progressively rather than just managing pain in the short term. We'd assess your specific movement patterns first.
What funding applies for a Carrick farm-work injury?
WorkCover if it happened during paid work and your claim is accepted; otherwise Medicare with a GP referral, DVA, or private cover. Let us know the circumstances and we'll confirm the right pathway.
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.
