Exercise physiology in Windellama.
We treat Windellama residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 58 minutes and 64 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Windellama residents.
Fifty-eight minutes via Windellama Road makes this the longest regular drive on our books, so nobody from Windellama is popping in for a quick check. Families here tend to be self-reliant by necessity, running farms without much backup, and that often means chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease go unmanaged longer than they should before someone commits to the trip.
We plan Windellama programs differently: fewer, longer visits, a thorough home exercise plan, and telehealth check-ins between in-person sessions where appropriate, particularly for monitoring a chronic condition rather than hands-on rehab. It's a trade-off that works for people balancing property work with the realities of a near-hour drive each way.
Medicare, DVA, private, and NDIS funding are all available, and we'll talk through which suits your situation before booking the first visit.
Getting here
The drive in from Windellama.
Windellama sits south of Goulburn, about 64 km from the clinic and roughly 58 minutes away via Windellama Road. 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 Windellama 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.
Is telehealth an option for exercise physiology from Windellama given the distance?
For ongoing chronic disease management and program check-ins, yes — we mix telehealth with in-person visits to cut down on the 58-minute drive. Initial assessments and any hands-on work still need to happen in person.
How far in advance should I plan a visit from Windellama?
We recommend booking longer appointment slots and combining exercise physiology with any other visits you're already planning to Goulburn, since the round trip is close to two hours.
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.
