Locally Trusted Experts in Physio Care.
Acland Street Physiotherapy — your trusted St Kilda sports, running and musculoskeletal physio clinic — was founded in 2018 by physiotherapist Barry Nguyen, after more than 20 years treating locals through Acland Street Medical Centre. The aim was simple: exceptional, accessible, patient-centred care for everyone. Eight years on, we've helped thousands across St Kilda and Elwood stay active and moving well, with that experience multiplied across a collaborative team combining advanced training, a friendly bedside manner and a relentless drive for results.
Today the boutique clinic spans two suites overlooking Luna Park — growth we owe to the trust of this community.
For us, physiotherapy is about more than treating pain — it's about long-term healthspan: helping people move well, stay strong and remain independent at every stage of life. As proud advocates of grassroots sport, we're major sponsors of the Old Melburnians Soccer Club, where our sports physiotherapist James Le is club physiotherapist.
Acland Street Physiotherapy is home to Melbourne Running Clinic — our premium physiotherapy service for running injuries and performance coaching. Running physiotherapists James Le and Barry Nguyen are also Athletics Australia accredited running coaches, and are building a centre of excellence for St Kilda runners: physiotherapy, coaching expertise, video movement analysis, objective testing and emerging technology under one roof.
Move Well. Stay Strong. Last.

Acute or chronic, we're with you every step.
