Flemington and Kensington share a postcode, and most of Flemington is closer to our clinic than it is to the next osteo. We are at 92 Parsons Street, just across Macaulay Road.
If you are on the Racecourse Road side, it is a short drive or a comfortable walk depending on where you start.
Getting here from Flemington
Driving
Roughly five minutes from Racecourse Road via Macaulay Road. Parsons Street runs off Macaulay Road.
Parking
Street parking on and around Parsons Street. Generally easier than parking on Racecourse Road itself.
Public transport
Newmarket station is the closest on the Craigieburn line. The 57 tram runs the length of Racecourse Road.
Find the door: we are inside the Renegade BJJ building at 92 Parsons Street. Entry is via the rear of the building, not the main gym doors. First-time visitors miss this regularly, so allow an extra minute.
Training in Flemington
Flemington has become one of the better-served pockets in the inner north-west for training. OneGym on Mount Alexander Road, Frequency Health and Wellness and Zap Fitness on Racecourse Road, and The Strength Store on Ascot Vale Road all sit within a few minutes of us.
We see a steady stream of lifters from The Strength Store and general-population gym-goers from the Racecourse Road strip, along with runners using the Flemington Racecourse loop and the creek trail.
Who we see from Flemington
A lot of Flemington patients come in with the classic strength-training complaints — lower back under load, shoulders from pressing volume, hips from squatting — plus the usual desk-work neck and back.
Whatever brings you in, the first appointment covers a full history, gait and functional movement assessment, hands-on treatment, and a plan you leave with in writing.

How far is the clinic from Flemington?
About five minutes by car from Racecourse Road, or a walk of roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending where in Flemington you start. Flemington and Kensington share the 3031 postcode.
Do you treat racing industry workers?
Yes. Track work, stable work and strapping put very specific loads through the lower back, shoulders and hands, and we see those presentations regularly.
Do I need a referral?
No. Osteopaths are first-contact practitioners in Australia, so you can book directly. A referral only matters for funding pathways such as a Medicare care plan, DVA or WorkCover.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
Yes, if you hold extras cover that includes osteopathy or remedial massage. Check your level of cover with your fund.
