About our Wantirna service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Wantirna

Exercare is a mobile exercise physiology practice based in south-east Melbourne, providing personalised, evidence-based exercise programs to clients across Wantirna (3152) and the broader City of Knox area. Our accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) visit you directly — whether that's at your home, a local gym, hydrotherapy pool, park, or community facility in Wantirna.

We work with a wide range of clients in Wantirna, from NDIS participants building capacity and independence to older adults requiring falls prevention, strength and balance programs, and chronic disease management. No matter your condition or funding type, we tailor every program to your individual goals and circumstances.

Unlike clinic-based services, Exercare eliminates the need to travel. For many of our Wantirna clients — particularly those with disability, limited mobility, or complex health needs — this makes a significant difference to their ability to access consistent, high-quality exercise physiology care.
