The 5 Best Kinesiologists in Melbourne Who’ll Help You Take Your First Step Into Healing
At this point, it’s no secret that a lot of us live sedentary lifestyles. I mean, I’m guilty as charged, with the amount of time I spend just hunched over a desk trying to write or sorting through something or other.
But it’s not good for our bodies to stay inactive for too long, and it’s times like this where it’s important to get up and get your blood flowing again. When getting up for bathroom breaks or to get myself coffee wasn’t cutting it anymore, I found out about kinesiology.
Kinesiologists in Melbourne study and use exercise to diagnose and alleviate imbalances in your body caused by the daily grind, which was really appealing to more than a few of my friends!
After dropping by a few around town, here are our favorites.
How much does it cost to go to a kinesiologist in Melbourne?
A visit to a kinesiologist can cost you anywhere from $125 to $190 per session, depending on the length of time of the session and any treatments and exercises needed to get a read on your body.
1. Conscious Kinesiology
Address: 129 Eastern Rd, South Melbourne VIC 3205
Contact Details: +61 401 484 417, [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Tuesday to Thursday: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Closed on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
When it comes to kinesiology in Melbourne, it’s hard not to mention Conscious Kinesiology. It landed on our radar after locals from South Melbourne and more swore by it.
The first thing we noticed was the easy location. There was plenty of street parking available around the area, which was convenient since we drove ourselves there. For customers without their own vehicle, public transport was also just around the corner.
While visiting, we got to chat with a couple of the clinic’s regulars and heard pretty good things. The consultation sessions were reportedly great, with customers getting to glean much information about their bodies and stressors throughout.
We were also pleased to hear that Conscious Kinesiology offered online sessions and consultations, allowing customers to practice from their own homes if they were more comfortable.
That being said, these sessions do not come cheap as we noticed. The price per session was slightly higher than at other clinics.
This goes hand in hand with their limited session days. Only twice per week can make it a bit of a long-term commitment with a high price tag. We’d recommend trying a consultation first to see if it works for you before committing outright.
Taught me techniques to help manage the stress
“Renee is brilliant! As a parent of teens, life can be stressful. Renee helped me understand what I was feeling and taught me techniques to help manage the stress. She was also brilliant with my teenage son. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
– Ms. Natalie Withington, Google Review
Massive improvement right after the first session
“I noticed a massive improvement right after the first session. I’ve tried a lot of different treatments before that and none of them worked, Renee’s approach did. Thank you so much!”

2. Bend Like Bamboo
Address: 9 Izett street Prahran, Melbourne, VIC
Contact Details: +61 1300 188 882, [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Closed on Sunday and Monday
You know the saying about how it’s better to bend and not break? Kinesiology is kind of like that, according to some practitioners and customers we’ve heard from, and the clinic they often recommend is Bend Like Bamboo.
The clinic itself offered kinesiology programs to assess patients and diagnose any stressors and patterns that might be causing or aggravating their aches. They also offered coaching services to guide patients.
That said, we noticed that there were limited kinesiology routines and programs offered. The clinic primarily offered foundational kinesiology and a routine focused more on healing, which could be limiting for those with specific body areas to address.
What we appreciated was the proactive responses from the team. They were happy to explain their programs to us as well as what they consisted of in a timely manner. We find that pretty handy for unsure newcomers.
Regulars we got to chat with agreed with this proactivity, noting the personalized treatment recommendations after consultations. They even praised the clinic’s regular summary reports, letting clients track their progress and improvement!
But on that note, these regulars also let us know that to achieve this, the clinic had a very strict timing and scheduling for sessions. We’d recommend letting the clinic know in advance if you may need to reschedule.
Helped me on my healing journey
“Amanda’s knowledge and intuitive ability has helped me on my healing journey. I love the fact she has faced similar health challenges that she draws upon her own experience to assist others with theirs.”
– Mr. Gabriel Bouris, Google Review
Goes above and beyond to help her clients
“Amanda is an amazing, inspiring person. She is truly invested in my journey. She goes above and beyond to help her clients and I often hear from her in between my appointments.”
– Ms. Sally McKnight, Google Review
3. Holistic Health Melbourne

Contact Details: +61 409 706 727, [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Monday and Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Tuesday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM
- Saturday: 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM
- Sunday: 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM
When we talk about kinesiology, it’s hard not to bring up holistic health. It came as no surprise to us then that Holistic Health Melbourne became popular among those interested in kinesiology in the area.
What we found there didn’t disappoint. The clinic offered a staggering range of kinesiology treatments, from classic holistic kinesiology to more focused programs in sports kinesiology and chronic pain management.
One thing we heard particular praise for was their treatment plans. We got to chat with some regulars at the clinic, and quite a few were happy to share their strong focus on identifying and alleviating problem areas.
This was reportedly done through a balance of theoretical and practical applications, spanning tests and actual exercise routines. If you’re looking into a clinic to help you get a start on understanding kinesiology, this might be a good pick.
On the other hand, a few regulars said the biggest delays they experienced were in confirming appointment dates. This could cause sessions to get delayed or cancelled entirely, so we’d advise consulting closely with the team just in case.
We also noted limited practitioners and staff in the clinic, which may mean you have to wait before you get seen for an appointment or session.
I like the variety of her high quality treatments
“Karen is delicate, attentive, caring and really understands your needs. I like the variety of her high quality treatments: EMDR, kinesiology, reiki, visualizations… We always start with personal affirmations and goals.”
– Ms. Coraline Bucquet, Google Review
The course content was so thorough
“The course content was so thorough and so appropriate for the type of energy work we were learning about. The two days completing reiki 2 was a beautiful mix of theory and practical.”

4. Trinity Curated Wellness
Address: 18 Thomson St, South Melbourne VIC 3205
Contact Details: +61 414 937 765, [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Who says exercise doesn’t go with rest and relaxation all in one building? Trinity Curated Wellness became popular among folks looking not only for kinesiology but also for an all-around clinic to warm up and cool down after.
Our visit showed us their neat and well-maintained facilities, from the actual training rooms for classes to their specialized bathhouse and sauna for relaxation.
Trinity’s offerings largely covered kinesiology group classes and therapy. A few clients let us know that regular group classes were the norm, making it handy for those who want to practice with friends or other people in general.
We were also surprised to find that their costs per session were quite reasonable, especially for the length of time these sessions span!
That being said, we couldn’t quite extend that to their packages and offers. These tended to be on the pricier side for more classes and access to some of their facilities, whether for yourself or for gifting to a loved one.
Finally, regulars also let us know that there was a long minimum commitment time to sessions. We’d advise only booking if you feel like Trinity’s approach is good for you and your wallet!
Perfect way to breathe, stretch, and reset
“I’ve absolutely loved my time at Trinity Curated Wellness. Mellow Yoga on Tuesday mornings with a couple of mates has become the perfect way to breathe, stretch, and reset after some tough strength sessions.”
– Mr. Riges Younan, Google Review
It’s so clean, gorgeous and relaxing
“The space itself is STUNNING – the owner Trinity took so much care in every detail. It’s so clean, gorgeous and relaxing. You feel immediately at ease, relaxed and restored. So deeply grateful for this space and for the time I spent here.”
– Ms. Lara Alice, Google Review
5. Kinesiology Body And Mind
Address: 31 MacKay St, Essendon VIC 3040
Contact Details: +61 466 497 716, [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Closed on Monday and Sunday
At some point, we wondered whether kinesiology could apply to seniors and kid too, and we got our answer pretty quick from the locals! That answer was Kinesiology Body and Mind, a clinic that rose to prominence for its in-depth kinesiology programs.
Their offerings for kinesiology spanned everything from foundational routines to targeted ones for sleep cycles and burnout, but it was their supported age ranges that surprised us. They offered special programs for both kids and senior citizens!
We were also pleased by how responsive their communications were. The team responded quickly to our inquiries, offering us detailed explanations of their kinesiology routines and what exercises went into them.
This responsiveness reportedly extended even to their full consultations, whether by phone or in person. Customers we got to hear from praised these, especially for how quick and hassle-free they were to book.
That being said, customers did say that while booking a consultation was easy, there was a long waiting time to get scheduled for an actual session. We’d definitely advise keeping a clear schedule!
Finally, we do have to note that we noticed that the cost of sessions at the clinic can be pretty high compared to other clinics. We’d definitely recommend consulting with the team to see if there’s a session or routine that fits your budget.

“I was recommended by a friend to see Lorraine as I was suffering from very regular migraines. The first time I met her, she was so lovely to work with, and made me feel comfortable.”
