Serving Essendon
Physiotherapy for Essendon Patients
Reviewed by Andrew Macdonald, Senior Physiotherapist — AHPRA registered (PHY0002098797), APA member
Essendon sits a little further west again, beyond Moonee Ponds, connected to our Brunswick West clinic via Mount Alexander Road — a straightforward drive whether you’re coming from around Keilor Road, Windy Hill, or the Essendon Station end of the suburb.
Why Essendon patients choose us
A number of our Essendon patients have specifically sought out Andrew Macdonald based on a recommendation, rather than booking with whoever’s closest — often for a chronic or recurring issue where they want one senior physiotherapist managing the whole course of treatment, not a different practitioner each visit. Andrew takes the time to explain what he’s found in your assessment and why he’s recommending a particular treatment plan, which matters even more when you’re travelling a bit further to get here.
What we treat
Essendon patients most commonly come in for lower back and neck pain, shoulder and knee complaints, and sports injuries, along with post-surgical rehabilitation. See our full list of conditions we treat and treatment techniques, including manual therapy, dry needling, cupping and shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon injuries.
First visit
No GP referral is required to book. If this is your first time seeing a physiotherapist, what to expect at your first appointment covers what to bring and how the initial assessment works.
