Exercise physiology in Crookwell.
We treat Crookwell residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 40 minutes and 46 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Crookwell residents.
The trip in from Crookwell is about 40 minutes along Crookwell Road, so most people we see from there plan their visit around it rather than dropping in on a whim. That's a fair trade for farming and grazing injuries that need more than a quick check — years of lifting, fencing, and working stock take a toll on backs, hips, and knees that exercise physiology is built to rebuild strength around.
Crookwell's cold tableland winters aren't kind to older joints either, and with a population of around 2,600 including a good number of older residents, falls prevention and steady strength work come up often. We also manage chronic conditions like heart disease and COPD here, building programs that make the 46-kilometre drive worth doing every few weeks rather than every few days.
DVA, Medicare, and private funding all apply.

What we treat
What Crookwell 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.

- Building strength safely for back, knee, and hip pain

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Is a 46-kilometre drive from Crookwell worth it for exercise physiology?
For chronic conditions and rehab that need a structured program rather than a one-off visit, yes — we space sessions fortnightly once you're established and set home exercises for the weeks between, so the drive counts for more each time.
What funding covers exercise physiology if I'm a DVA client in Crookwell?
DVA-funded exercise physiology is available with a valid referral from your GP or treating specialist — no gap fee applies. Medicare and private options are also available if DVA doesn't apply to you.
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.
