Local care
Exercise physiology for Tallong residents.
Retirees on the rural blocks around Tallong often keep managing a property well past the point where a desk job would've stopped — clearing bushland, maintaining fences, tending larger gardens. That kind of activity is good for health, but it also means falls, joint pain, and cardiac conditions show up as real concerns, and exercise physiology is where we build strength and balance programs specifically around it.
It's about 32 minutes via the Hume Motorway to reach our Goulburn clinic, roughly 40 kilometres, which most Tallong locals treat as a fortnightly rather than weekly trip. For commuters and bushland-property owners managing type 2 diabetes or heart disease, we set programs around that rhythm from the start rather than assuming weekly visits.
DVA and Medicare cover many of the older residents we see from Tallong, alongside private and WorkCover options.

What we treat
What Tallong 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
- 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.
What's exercise physiology good for if I'm managing a chronic condition from Tallong?
It's suited to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and COPD — conditions that need supervised, progressive exercise over months rather than a short physio block. We build a program around your fortnightly visit and adjust it as you go.
Do I need a referral to claim Medicare from Tallong?
Yes, for a Medicare rebate you need a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Without one you can still book privately — call us and we'll talk through what applies 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.
