Do you treat patients from Parkville?

Yes — Parkville is one of the more central suburbs we see patients from, including staff and students connected to the University of Melbourne and the Parkville hospital precinct.

How do I get to the clinic from Parkville without a car?

Tram route 58 runs directly between Parkville and West Coburg via Brunswick West, stopping close to our clinic — the same tram you'd catch from stops near the University of Melbourne or Royal Melbourne Hospital on Royal Parade. Tram route 19 along Royal Parade is another option, connecting through to Sydney Road.

Is parking available at the clinic?

Yes — on-street parking is usually available directly in front of the clinic on Melville Road, with restrictions only between 7:00am and 9:00am on weekdays.

Physiotherapy for Parkville Patients

Parkville is home to the University of Melbourne and the Royal Melbourne, Royal Children’s and Royal Women’s Hospitals, and it’s better connected to our Brunswick West clinic than its distance from the CBD might suggest — tram route 58 runs directly between West Coburg and Parkville via Brunswick West, so it’s a single tram trip rather than a cross-town journey.

Why Parkville patients choose us

Many of our Parkville patients are staff, students or researchers based around the university and hospital precinct who want a physiotherapist they can see consistently without the trip becoming a hassle — the direct tram 58 connection means it’s genuinely a straightforward one-line journey rather than requiring a change or a long walk. Andrew treats the same range of musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions for Parkville patients as anyone else, with the same emphasis on explaining his findings and building a plan around your specific goals, whether that’s getting back to study, work, or sport.

What we treat

Parkville patients most commonly come in for lower back and neck pain — often related to long hours at a desk or lab bench — along with shoulder, knee and general sports injuries. See our full list of conditions we treat and treatment techniques for more detail.
