Osteopath for Moonee Ponds Residents
Puckle St to Woodland St is a short trip. Our Essendon clinic sits just the other side of Mount Alexander Rd from Moonee Ponds, treating the same back pain, sports injuries, and headaches you'd expect from a local osteopath.
Book NowMoonee Ponds to Essendon: Closer Than You'd Think
Moonee Ponds and Essendon blur into each other well before you hit an actual suburb sign. If you're anywhere near Puckle St, Moonee Ponds Junction, or Queens Park, our Essendon clinic on Woodland St is a few minutes away, not a special trip across town.
We don't run a separate clinic in Moonee Ponds itself. What we do run is a Thursday clinic in Essendon that a fair number of Moonee Ponds locals already use, because it's closer than driving into the city or further out to a bigger multi-practitioner clinic.
What We Treat
Back and neck pain
From desk work, driving, or an old injury that flared up again
Sports and training injuries
Sprains, strains, and overuse from local sport or the gym
Headaches
Tension and cervicogenic headaches linked to neck and shoulder tightness

Your Osteopath
I'm Joshua Milanes. Nine years in clinical practice, graduating from RMIT in 2017. On Thursdays you'll find me at the Essendon clinic, running the same assessment I run everywhere: find what's actually driving the problem, then treat it, then build strength so it doesn't come straight back.
