Osteopath Moonee Ponds
Musculoskeletal pain affects many Australians and can be quite debilitating when it flares up. For some, it might develop as a result of a sporting injury or through lifting something heavy or awkwardly. Often it can just gradually appear, without a single incident seemingly to blame.
Whatever the reason, it is important to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms. That is one of the main reasons why many residents of Moonee Ponds make an appointment with Principle Four Osteopathy.
Located on Collins Street in the Melbourne CBD, our central location is easy to reach by train, tram or car. We also have an experienced team of osteopaths who can not only assess a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions but also develop customised treatment plans to reduce your pain and improve your mobility.
We offer early and late appointments to fit in with our customers’ schedules. Please book one today if you could benefit from our service.

We accept direct appointments, as well as referrals through Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans, TAC, WorkCover, and DVA.
Getting to Us From Moonee Ponds
If you are travelling from Moonee Ponds to our Collins Street clinic, you should find the journey fairly straightforward.
Many patients catch the Craigieburn Line from Moonee Ponds Station to Southern Cross Station, then walk a short distance to our clinic. Alternatively, Tram Route 59 provides another convenient connection into the city. Both journeys tend to take between 25 and 35 minutes, depending on the time of day.
If you’re driving, the most common routes to take include Mount Alexander Road and CityLink. This should take about 20 minutes if traffic is not too heavy.
Our Approach
We are passionate about understanding how your symptoms affect your everyday life. This means that rather than concentrating only on where you feel pain, our osteopaths will assess your movement, discuss your daily activities and consider the factors that may be contributing to your condition.
This approach helps us to develop a treatment plan that helps you to achieve your recovery goals. Whether that be working more comfortably, getting back into sport, or improving day-to-day mobility.
Depending on the nature of your condition, treatment may include manual osteopathic techniques, soft-tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, and exercise recommendations. We’ll also provide practical advice to help you manage your condition between appointments.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
During your first consultation, we aim to build as complete a picture of your condition as possible.
We’ll begin by discussing aspects such as your symptoms, general health, previous injuries, occupation, hobbies and any treatments you’ve received in the past. Your osteopath will then carry out a physical assessment. This may involve observing your posture, testing movement and examining the affected area.
Once the assessment is complete, your osteopath will explain what’s been found. They will also answer your questions and discuss suitable treatment options. Where appropriate, treatment can begin during your first appointment. We’ll also provide you with advice on exercises or lifestyle modifications that may help with your recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there parking at your CBD clinic?
Should I stop exercising before my appointment?
Unless your symptoms are significantly aggravated by activity, you can usually continue your normal routine until you’ve been assessed. However, your osteopath will confirm this with you before your first appointment.
Do you treat both recent injuries and long-term pain?
