Exercise physiology in Parkesbourne.
We treat Parkesbourne residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 45 minutes and 27 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Parkesbourne residents.
A trip to town from Parkesbourne is usually planned rather than spontaneous — about 45 minutes off the Hume Motorway for around 27 kilometres — so exercise physiology sessions tend to get bundled with other errands rather than booked as a stand-alone visit. That works well for grazing families managing the physical toll of farming: strength programs for backs, hips, and knees under sustained load, and rehab after a WorkCover injury that needs more structure than a quick check.
We plan Parkesbourne programs around fortnightly visits with a thorough home routine, and we also support chronic disease management for conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, where consistency matters more than frequency.
Medicare, WorkCover, DVA, and private funding are all available, and we'll confirm what fits before your first appointment.
Getting here
The drive in from Parkesbourne.
Parkesbourne sits west of Goulburn, about 27 km from the clinic and roughly 45 minutes away via the road off the Hume. 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 Parkesbourne 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 I combine an exercise physiology visit from Parkesbourne with other Goulburn errands?
That's exactly how most Parkesbourne clients plan it, given the 45-minute drive. Tell us what else you're doing in town and we'll try to fit your appointment around it.
Does WorkCover fund exercise physiology for a Parkesbourne farming injury?
Yes, once your claim is accepted and your insurer has approved treatment. Bring your claim details to the first session or call ahead so we can confirm what's needed.
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.
