About the Moonee Valley Racecourse Area
Moonee Valley Racecourse sits on McPherson Street in Moonee Ponds. It is best known as the home of the W.S. Cox Plate, one of Australia’s premier weight-for-age races run each October.
The streets around the track are tight and Victorian in character.

Chiropractic Services in Moonee Valley Racecourse
Sports chiropractor care is the main reason racecourse-area locals book in. Jockeys, track riders, and stable hands all live in a forward, flexed posture for long stretches. We work on hip mobility, mid-back rotation, and core stability to balance that pattern.
Lower back pain treatment is constant for stable hands lifting feed, hay, and saddlery, plus race-day staff on their feet for 10 hours. We use adjustments and dry needling to settle the lumbar joints and muscles.
Neck pain is a regular visit for riders who hold the head up over the shoulder of a horse, plus drivers stuck on the Tullamarine. We start with a careful cervical assessment, then use low-force techniques.
Hip pain relief is common for jockeys and exercise riders. The crouched riding position over time loads the hip flexors, glutes, and pelvis. We assess and treat the chain together.
Chiropractic massage therapy is a great fit after a race-day shift. Deep tissue work on the quads, glutes, calves, and lower back clears the load that builds up across a long carnival week at the track.
