Exercise physiology in Marulan.
We treat Marulan residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 26 minutes and 30 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Marulan residents.
Freight and quarry crews make up a good share of who we see from Marulan, and those jobs put steady strain through backs, shoulders, and knees that doesn't always show up until years later. When a workplace injury needs more than a handful of physio sessions to settle, exercise physiology is the next step: a structured strength program built around the real demands of the job, not a generic gym routine.
It's about 26 minutes down the Hume Motorway to our Goulburn clinic, close enough for shift workers and commuter families to fit a session around a roster or school pickup. With Marulan's population growing past 1,400 and more young households settling in, we're also seeing more people managing type 2 diabetes or getting back to fitness after time off with an injury.
Medicare, WorkCover, and private cover all apply here, so funding usually isn't the hold-up.
Getting here
The drive in from Marulan.
Marulan sits north-east of Goulburn, about 30 km from the clinic and roughly 26 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 Marulan 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
- Exercise as part of a mental-health plan

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Do I need a GP referral to start exercise physiology from Marulan?
No referral is needed to book privately. A GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan gets you a Medicare rebate, and WorkCover claims need employer or insurer approval first — call us and we'll check what applies before you make the drive.
Is the 26-minute drive from Marulan manageable for an ongoing program?
Yes. Most programs run weekly or fortnightly over 8-12 weeks, and we build home exercises into the plan so you're not driving in more than needed between clinic sessions.
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.
