Getting to Our Melbourne CBD Clinic from South Yarra
Aside from our excellent osteopaths, one of the main reasons South Yarra residents come to our Collins Street clinic is because it is easy to visit.
For those catching the train, services on the Sandringham, Frankston, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines will all stop at South Yarra Station. From there, it is just a short hop to Flinders Street Station, and then a 10-minute walk to our clinic on Collins Street.
If you are coming by tram, Routes 58 and 78 connect South Yarra to the CBD and nearby city streets. Alternatively, Route 72 travels along nearby Commercial Road and continues towards the city.
Should you intend to drive, the trip via Punt Road and Batman Avenue usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes outside peak traffic. You’ll find metered parking is available throughout the Collins Street precinct, and a number of secure parking stations nearby.
Our Approach
We know that no two people experience pain in exactly the same way. That is why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. Instead, before making any recommendations, our osteopaths take the time to fully understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and movement patterns.
From there, they will develop a personalised management plan that may include any or all of the following:
- Hands-on treatment
- Rehabilitation exercises
- Movement advice to support your recovery
- Education to help you better manage your condition
Our osteopaths are also qualified strength and conditioning coaches, which means they can incorporate targeted rehabilitation into your care if needed.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We accept direct bookings and eligible referrals through Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans, as well as WorkCover, DVA, and TAC.
During your first consultation, our osteopath will build a clear understanding of what’s contributing to your symptoms. They’ll discuss your medical history, current concerns, and daily activities before conducting a physical assessment.
After that, you’ll receive an explanation of their findings, along with a personalised treatment plan. If needed, treatment can begin during your first appointment.
