Massage for Ascot Vale, just up the road
Two kilometres from Union Road — a five-minute drive up Mt Alexander Road, one stop on the train, or the 59 tram to Moonee Ponds Junction.
Ascot Vale runs into Moonee Ponds without much fanfare — most locals don't think twice about ducking up Mt Alexander Road or jumping on the 59 tram. Our clinic on Eddy Street is about two kilometres from Union Road, and clients from around Walter Street Reserve, Ascot Vale Primary and the streets backing onto the Maribyrnong River bend make up a steady part of our weekly bookings.
We see a few patterns from this part of town: young parents who've finally booked themselves in, professionals working from home who've ended up with stubborn neck and shoulder tension, and people working in or around the Melbourne Showgrounds and racing industry who push their bodies harder than they admit. Our combination of Traditional Chinese acupressure and Western remedial work tends to suit all three — acupressure for the long-held patterns, remedial for the specific knots. Focused sessions start at $50 for 30 minutes.
If you walk or run along the Maribyrnong river trail, we can build a session around the muscles that take the most load. Just tell your therapist when you arrive.

What brings Ascot Vale regulars back
Genuinely close
Two kilometres isn't a journey — a five-minute drive up Mt Alexander Road, one stop on the Craigieburn line from Ascot Vale station, or the 59 tram to Moonee Ponds Junction. Most clients are at our door inside ten minutes from anywhere in Ascot Vale, even at school pickup time.
Built for the Maribyrnong trail crowd
We treat a lot of runners, walkers and cyclists who use the river trail. The acupressure-plus-remedial blend works well for the hip flexors, calves and lower-back tightness that come with regular trail miles. Tell us your sport and your therapist will adjust.
Weekend availability that actually exists
Saturday and Sunday slots are real — not just an 8am token offering. Families fit us around weekend sport, racing industry workers come post-meet, and our diary stays open seven days for Ascot Vale clients who can't break free midweek.
Coming from Ascot Vale
By train: Ascot Vale station to Moonee Ponds is a single stop on the Craigieburn line, and from there it's a five-minute walk through the Puckle Street precinct to Shop 2/8 Eddy Street.
By tram: The 59 runs the length of Mt Alexander Road — hop off at Moonee Ponds Junction and we're a few minutes' walk away. From the Union Road shops it's a fair walk across to a Mt Alexander Road stop, so the train is usually simpler.
By car or bike: Straight up Mt Alexander Road, about five minutes outside peak. Free 2-hour street parking is usually available on Eddy Street and the nearby side streets, and Moonee Ponds Junction has paid parking if you need longer. The bike route up Mt Alexander has lanes most of the way, and the Maribyrnong River trail connects across if you prefer the scenic detour.

Common questions from Ascot Vale clients
How long does the trip from Ascot Vale take?
Five to ten minutes by car outside peak, depending on lights along Mt Alexander Road. The train is one stop from Ascot Vale station, and the 59 tram drops you at Moonee Ponds Junction — either way around 15 minutes door to door including the walk. Avoid Mt Alexander Road between 8-9am and 5-6:30pm if you can.
I run on the Maribyrnong River trail — what do you recommend?
A remedial-plus-acupressure session focused on legs, glutes and lower back works well for regular trail runners and walkers. Many of our Ascot Vale clients book a 60-minute slot after a bigger weekend run. Tell your therapist your distance and pace and they'll prioritise calves, hip flexors and anything in the IT-band region.
Where can I park near your Moonee Ponds clinic?
Eddy Street and the surrounding side streets usually have free 2-hour street parking, which comfortably covers a 60-minute appointment. For peak Saturday Puckle Street shopping or longer combination sessions, Moonee Ponds Junction has paid parking a short walk from us.
Do you do home visits in Ascot Vale?
No — we work exclusively from the clinic. Honestly, it's worth the short trip: we have a proper treatment room with a heated table, the table is set up for deep pressure work that's hard to replicate on a portable, and our acupressure technique needs you in a specific position our therapist controls. Five minutes up Mt Alexander Road and you get a much better result.
