Massage Close to Princes Park
Our Moonee Ponds clinic is a quick run across Royal Park from Carlton North — book a remedial or acupressure session online.
Carlton North has a very particular kind of body strain. Academics and postgrads from nearby Melbourne Uni spending long hours reading; professionals working from kitchen tables along Rathdowne Street; parents pushing prams around Curtain Square — it's a suburb where neck tension, upper back tightness and rounded-shoulder posture are quietly common. Add the lap-running crowd around Princes Park, and we see a regular mix of overuse patterns and computer-bound stiffness from Carlton North clients.
The clinic is genuinely close. From Rathdowne Village or the Lygon Street end of Carlton North, it's a straightforward drive across Royal Park along Park Street and Mount Alexander Road — usually about ten minutes outside of peak. By tram, the 96 down Nicholson Street or the 59 down Mount Alexander Road both connect well, and a Craigieburn-line train will drop you at Moonee Ponds station, a few minutes' walk away.
What you'll find at eWellbeing is a deliberate blend of two traditions. Chinese acupressure works on meridians and pressure points with sustained, focused holds. Western remedial techniques target the specific muscles and trigger points causing your pain. Together, they're particularly effective for the kind of long-held postural tension that builds up in office workers, researchers and parents.

Why Carlton North locals book with us
Made for desk-bound bodies
We treat a lot of Carlton North clients who spend their days reading, writing or working at a screen. Our therapists know exactly where to find the upper-trap, levator scapulae and rhomboid tension that builds up over long sittings — and how to release it without leaving you sore the next day.
Calm, considered sessions
Our therapists don't rush. Every session starts with a short conversation about where you're feeling tight and what's been going on lately, then a tailored treatment plan. It's a quieter, more attentive experience than the conveyor-belt feel of some chain clinics.
Quality across modalities
Alongside remedial and Chinese acupressure, our therapists offer hot stone, Lomi Lomi, reflexology, cupping and pregnancy massage. If you're not sure what you need, we'll talk it through and steer you to the right session — sometimes that's deep work, sometimes it's something gentler.
Your route from Carlton North
By car, the simplest run from Carlton North is west along Park Street, across Royal Park, then onto Mount Alexander Road heading north — Eddy Street is a short turn just past Puckle Street. The trip is usually around ten minutes, with free on-street parking near the clinic.
If you'd rather not drive, the 59 tram along Mount Alexander Road runs directly between the city and our end of Moonee Ponds, and the 96 tram down Nicholson Street is a useful option from the eastern side of Carlton North. The Upfield or Craigieburn lines from nearby stations connect to Moonee Ponds station, about five minutes' walk from Eddy Street. Call (03) 9317 5656 if you need help working out the best route for your day.
Common questions from Carlton North clients
I'm an academic and sit at a desk all day — what session do you recommend?
For sustained desk and reading work, we'd usually start with a session focused on neck, shoulders and upper back, combining acupressure on the trigger points with remedial work along the traps and rhomboids. Most Carlton North clients in this category come in monthly to keep on top of it, with a longer whole-body session occasionally to address compensatory tension lower down.
What's the closest train station to your clinic from Carlton North?
Moonee Ponds station, on the Craigieburn line, is the closest. From the Lygon Street area of Carlton North you can also use Royal Park station on the Upfield line and connect, but the simplest run is to drive or catch the 59 tram along Mount Alexander Road. The clinic is a five-minute walk from Moonee Ponds station via Pascoe Vale Road and Eddy Street.
Do you do home visits in Carlton North?
We don't offer home visits — our therapists work from the clinic only. The reason is partly practical (heated tables, hot stones, cupping kit and proper supports aren't really portable) and partly clinical: the treatment environment matters for relaxation and consistent results. The trip from Carlton North is only ten or so minutes, and most clients find the short break itself part of the benefit.
I'm new to massage — what's a good first session?
A good starting point is a sixty-minute whole-body session, which lets your therapist get a sense of where you hold tension and gives you a feel for our blended remedial and acupressure style. We'll always ask about pressure preference upfront and adjust as we go — there's no expectation to grit your teeth through anything that doesn't feel right.
