Chiropractor near Maribyrnong River, Ascot Vale, Melbourne
Care for runners, cyclists and walkers who train along the Maribyrnong River trail. We treat sore knees, tight hips and lower back strain at our Brunswick West clinic, a short drive from Ascot Vale.
Trail Running Care for Ascot Vale Locals
Yes, we treat patients who live and train near the Maribyrnong River. Many come to us after long runs or cycling sessions on the riverside trail. The flat path is great for fitness, but the repetitive impact catches up with knees, hips and lower backs.
The river trail runs right through Ascot Vale and connects up to Moonee Ponds and Flemington. If you train on it three or more times a week, your body builds up small strains.
We are five minutes from Ascot Vale by car. For broader local care, see our Ascot Vale chiropractor page for service details, hours and directions.

About the Maribyrnong River Trail
The Maribyrnong River winds 21 kilometres from Brimbank Park down to the West Gate Bridge.
On the Ascot Vale side, the trail passes Riverside Park, the rowing sheds and the boat ramp at Maribyrnong Boulevard.
Riders and runners use the trail every morning and evening. On weekends, you also see dog walkers, prams and casual cyclists.
Many Ascot Vale homes are 1920s to 1940s brick and weatherboard cottages on quiet side streets.
We see riverside runners, triathletes from local clubs and cyclists doing morning loops to Brimbank Park and back.
Some patients live closer to Flemington Racecourse; if that is you, see our chiropractor near Flemington Racecourse page for the closer reference. Both feed the same Brunswick West clinic.
Chiropractic Services in Maribyrnong River, Ascot Vale
We treat overuse injuries from long runs and rides along the river. See our sports chiropractor page for how we treat runners, riders and weekend athletes.
Runner’s knee, IT band tightness and patellar pain are common in this group. Our knee pain treatment looks at the hip and ankle too, since the knee rarely fails on its own.
Cyclists and trail runners often build up tight hip flexors and weak glutes. Our hip pain treatment uses adjustments, soft-tissue work and home moves to free the joint.
Hours on the bike or pounding the path stiffens the lumbar spine. Our lower back pain care calms the spasm and rebuilds support so you keep training.
Our chiropractic adjustment restores joint motion in the spine, pelvis and hips. Most riverside runners feel looser inside one or two visits.
