Exercise physiology in Yarra.
We treat Yarra residents from our Goulburn clinic — about 19 minutes and 18 km away.
Local care
Exercise physiology for Yarra residents.
Farming and lifestyle-block families around Yarra deal with a familiar spread of strain — backs and shoulders from property work, knees that wear from years on sloped or uneven ground. A short drive in, about 19 minutes via Braidwood Road for 18 kilometres, means a weekly strength program is realistic rather than a stretch, which matters most in the early stages of rehab after an injury or surgery.
We also see falls prevention work booked from Yarra for older residents on rural blocks, where balance and strength training reduces risk on the kind of terrain a suburban block doesn't have. Chronic disease management, particularly for heart disease and type 2 diabetes, rounds out most of what we see from this area.
Medicare, private, WorkCover, and DVA funding are all available.
Getting here
The drive in from Yarra.
Yarra sits south-west of Goulburn, about 18 km from the clinic and roughly 19 minutes away via the Braidwood 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 Yarra 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.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
How manageable is a weekly program from Yarra?
At about 19 minutes, weekly sessions are realistic for most people, especially through the early, higher-frequency stage of rehab after an injury or surgery.
Does falls prevention work for older residents need a GP referral from Yarra?
Not to book, but a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management plan adds a Medicare rebate. Call us and we'll check the best route for your situation.
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.
